Bill > HB340

This bill allows tenants to terminate residential leases under specific circumstances, including if they are a "medically fragile tenant" experiencing a mental or physical health emergency, supported by documentation from a healthcare provider or mental health professional, and will only be responsible for prorated rent up to the termination date, with no further liability for rent or fees. It also permits a "covered tenant," defined as someone sixty or older or with a disability, to terminate a lease upon the death of their spouse or cotenant, provided they give proper notice and proof of death. Additionally, a tenant can break their lease if a landlord fails to address a lead hazard identified by a risk assessor within a reasonable time, and in this case, the tenant will not be liable for any additional rent or fees due to early termination. These provisions will only apply to leases or rental agreements that are entered into or renewed on or after the bill's effective date.
