While it was illegal for a landlord to use the registration of survival protection in screening decisions, it was still legal for a landlord to see the recording in a tenant screening report. In many ways, survivors did not feel much better than before 2004: a landlord could still refuse housing to a survivor for a pre-anticipated reason; For example, the assertion that another applicant applied first or for no reason. The Fair Tenant Screening Act ends this hidden but still present discrimination by prohibiting disclosure of domestic violence survivor status in a tenant screening report. If a tenant (or a surnant or a member of the household) is a victim of domestic violence, harassment, sexual assault or harassment, the tenant or Le Cotenant may terminate his lease by written termination to the lessor. (NRS 118A.345.) Note: Even if you can`t afford to pay money, you won`t have to do anything in the end. All landlords have a ”damage reduction obligation” if a tenant leaves before the end of the lease. In other words, the landlord must do everything in his power to re-rent the unit, even if other units are empty, your rental unit does not need to be rented first. If your unit is re-leased, your rental commitment is extinguished. However, future owners often turn to former owners. Be prepared for the possibility of a bad referral by explaining to a potential rental company the circumstances of your departure. Everyone has the right to feel safe and to live free from domestic violence. If the offender is your landlord: a tenant who is the victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, harassment or unlawful harassment by a landlord can change the unit at his own expense or add locks.

Within 7 days, they must inform the owner in writing that they have modified or added locks, as well as a valid protection order or a report from a qualified third party. This notice of violation must not contain the name of the offender, but if the owner requests the name and the offender was an employee of the owner, the qualified third party must make it available to them. How long does the tenant or Le Cotenant have time to send his resignation after the incident of domestic violence, harassment, harassment or sexual assault? If you change locks for this reason, your lease automatically expires 90 days after the date you notified the landlord, unless you notify your landlord in writing within 60 days that you do not wish to terminate the lease. If the offender is no longer an employee or real estate agent of the owner and does not reside in the property, you must at the same time provide the owner with a copy of the new keys, while sending that you do not wish to terminate the lease. If you have a valid protection order against the owner or an employee of the owner, you do not need to send a copy of the new keys. If you do not share the opinion that you wish to stay in the unit, you will be exempt from any obligation of the rental agreement, but you will still have to rent for the entire month in which you left the unit. The tenant is entitled to a statement of his deposit within 14 days and a refund of the deposit, minus any damage suffered by the unit beyond normal wear and tear. For more information, see Deposits. The landlord-tenant law allows survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, harassment or illegal harassment to break a lease and move if necessary.
