WomensLaw serves and supports all survivors, no matter their sex or gender.
There are many different housing laws that involve rights of tenants and landlords. The housing law described in this section provides tenant protections for victims of domestic violence and stalking. The law allows you (the tenant) to terminate your lease before it expires if you are a victim of family violence or stalking and have a civil or criminal family violence protection order or stalking order.1
