“The number one reason survivors are unable or unwilling to leave an unsafe situation is because they feel trapped by financial situations,” said Amanda Grady Sexton, director of public affairs for the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence. “There are times when survivors need to break a lease on an emergency basis. When that becomes part of their credit history, they’re less likely to be selected” for new rentals in a tight housing market.
The law was modeled after protections created for survivors in public housing in the Violence Against Women Act, extending them into private housing. Concord Monitor May 14, 2024 Comments are closed.
