Summary
The bill permits tenants who are 65 or older, have a disability, or earn at most 80 % of area median income to cancel their rental agreement with 30 days’ written notice if they have been accepted into approved senior, disability, or affordable housing. Landlords cannot charge fees, refuse future rentals, or enforce lease waivers that limit this right.
