Break Free From Domestic Violence Act

This bill changes the Violence Against Women Act to add housing protections for survivors. It would let an applicant for or tenant of housing assisted under a covered federal housing program leave a lease before its end date because they have been a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. It would also bar charging that person a fee for ending the lease early on that basis, regardless of what the lease agreement says.
