AI Summary

  • Allows tenants to give notice of intention to quit using either the notice period specified in the lease for tenants OR the notice period the lease requires landlords to use for eviction or rent increase notices, whichever period the tenant chooses.

  • Prohibits landlords from giving notice to quit the premises or notice of rent increase that is shorter than the time period the lease provides for tenant notice of intention to quit.

  • Makes the notice period requirements non-waivable and void any lease provision, oral or written, that attempts to waive these protections for tenants.

  • Applies to residential leases entered into or renewed on or after August 1, 2016.

  • Clarifies tenant liability for rent through the end of the month when tenancy terminates and requires forfeiture of security deposit claims, while preserving landlord's right to collect pre-termination delinquent rent.
