FL H0107

Victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual violence, or stalking (including tenants whose minor children are victims) may terminate a rental agreement without penalty by providing written notice and documentation to the landlord

Landlords are prohibited from evicting tenants or terminating rental agreements because the tenant or their minor child is a victim, and rental agreements cannot include provisions treating such early termination as a breach

Landlords must change locks within 24 hours upon written request from a victim tenant who wishes to remain in the dwelling; if landlord fails, tenant may change locks themselves

All information provided to landlords about a tenant's victim status is confidential and cannot be entered into shared databases or disclosed except for legitimate business purposes, court proceedings, or as required by law

Landlords who violate confidentiality or anti-discrimination provisions face civil liability of $1,000 in punitive damages plus actual damages, court costs, and attorney fees; the bill's protections cannot be waived by rental agreement and take effect July 1, 2026
