Can I end my rental agreement (lease) early because of domestic violence?

To end your lease early, you must give your landlord both of the following documents:

  1. a final court order protecting you from the abuser or a police report saying that you’re the victim of domestic violence; and
  2. a written “notice of termination” that includes the date you intend to move out.1

Your decision to end your lease early doesn’t end the lease for any other tenants.2

You will also be charged a termination fee.3 For more information, go to How long do I have to move out? Do I have to pay any fees?

Note: You cannot use this process to end your lease early if your landlord has already served you with a notice of eviction.4
