Isn’t it rich? Penalizing landlords for being landlords—where’s personal responsibility gone?

It’s about time we made safety a priority and relaxed lease rules for the vulnerable.

Breaking leases shouldn’t mean breaking wallets; this bill puts people over profits.

Smart move—help survivors without punishing landlords unfairly. Balance is key.

No victim should be trapped by rent fees when fleeing danger—this law gets it right.

Protecting victims while considering housing stability is a tightrope, but this bill tries.
