Bill > SB370

This bill modifies how a tenant can terminate a rental agreement when a landlord significantly fails to uphold their end of the agreement, specifically concerning issues that materially affect the health and safety of the tenant. Previously, a tenant had to wait until the end of a rental period, like the end of a month, to terminate the lease after giving the landlord 30 days' notice of the problem, and the landlord had 14 days to fix it. This bill removes the requirement for the termination date to align with the rental period, allowing a lease to end sooner after the notice period, and clarifies that if the same or a similar problem recurs after the landlord has already fixed it once, the tenant can terminate the lease without giving the landlord another chance to fix it. The bill also makes minor wording changes for clarity and repeals the existing law it amends, meaning this new version will replace the old one.
