Bill Summary

Remedies for Victims of Domestic Violence Amendments

AI Summary

This bill amends existing laws to expand the rights of victims of domestic violence in rental agreements. It allows victims to terminate their rental agreement and requires landlords to install new locks upon request and without providing a copy of the new key to the perpetrator. The bill also prohibits landlords from restricting a tenant's ability to request assistance from public safety agencies or penalizing them for doing so. The bill defines key terms like "court order," "crime victim," "domestic violence," and "termination fee" to provide clarity and context.
