Bill overview
This bill, the Protecting Victims From Financial Abuse Act, aims to protect tenants who terminate their leases due to domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or other qualifying crimes from being unfairly charged a full security deposit. It requires landlords to pay a calculated share of the security deposit to the terminating tenant if another tenant on the lease committed a qualifying crime, and ensures remaining tenants remain jointly and severally liable for the remaining balance. The bill also establishes specific documentation requirements and prohibits landlords from retaliating against tenants for exercising these rights.
