Bill > HR6167

This bill, known as the Break Free From Domestic Violence Act, aims to provide additional housing protections for survivors of domestic violence. The key provision of the bill is a prohibition on the imposition of fees for early lease termination. Specifically, the bill amends the Violence Against Women Act to allow applicants or tenants of covered housing programs to voluntarily exit a lease earlier than the end date, if they have been a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, without being charged a fee for doing so.
