Is there a law that protects me if I need to break my lease?

If you are what the law considers a “protected tenant,” you can terminate your lease without penalty if you reasonably believe that you need to leave your home based on either of the following:

  1. your fear of immediate (imminent) harm due to abuse, sexual assault, or stalking; or
  2. the fact that you were a victim of sexual assault that occurred on the premises within the six months before your termination notice.1
