WomensLaw serves and supports all survivors.
If you (the tenant) are a victim of family violence (as defined by law), or if an occupant who is living in your home is a victim of family violence, you may be eligible to terminate your lease without penalty. The occupant must be living in your home with the landlord’s consent in order to be protected under this law.1
