Termination of Rental Agreement by Victim of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Violence, or StalkingMiami-Dade
Would have let renters who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual violence, or stalking break their lease without penalty. Landlords could not evict them for being victims, would have to change locks quickly, and could not keep deposits. Abusers could be held liable for remaining rent. Died in committee.
