Bill overview
This bill, the Leasing Relief for Dependents of Fallen Heroes and Injured Servicemembers Act of 2020, amends the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act to provide greater flexibility for terminating leases when a service member suffers a catastrophic injury or illness or dies while in military service. It allows dependents, or designated representatives, to terminate leases without penalty under specific circumstances, offering crucial support to families of injured or deceased service members. The changes clarify the definition of ‘catastrophic injury or illness’ and expand who can terminate the lease in various situations.
