AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee's existing rental property law to extend the time period for domestic abuse, sexual assault, or stalking victims to terminate a residential rental or lease agreement. Specifically, the bill changes the current 30-day window to 45 days, during which a tenant who is a victim of domestic abuse, sexual assault, or stalking can provide written notice and documentation to their landlord and mutually agree on a date to end the rental agreement. The amendment applies to all rental agreements entered into, amended, or renewed after the bill becomes law. The change provides additional time for victims to make arrangements to safely leave their current living situation, offering more flexibility and protection for individuals experiencing domestic violence or other forms of targeted harassment.
