HB 1123 makes it easier for domestic abuse victims to break their lease agreements early without penalty. The bill amends South Dakota's lease termination laws to allow victims of alleged domestic abuse to end residential or commercial leases by providing notice and evidence of the abuse, rather than being locked into their current lease terms.
