Plain-language change summary

The amended version of HB 2651 adds specific provisions that clarify tenants' rights when they are victims of domestic violence or sexual assault. It allows these tenants to terminate their rental agreements without penalties or future rent obligations if they provide proper notice and documentation to their landlord within thirty days. This change matters because it provides important protections for vulnerable individuals, ensuring they can leave unsafe situations without financial repercussions.
