Under the new law, S-1894, any joint lease will expire 30 days after a landlord receives written notice of a domestic violence victim’s need to move. “Written notice” includes a current restraining order or police report.
ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!!!

On her Amazon blog, Leah Kelly writes: "I've been having a hard time keeping things in order. My husband thinks a maintenance session might help me get back on track. I have neglected my health as of late and have been a bit ill, followed by an exacerbation of fibromyalgia. I am behind on housework a bit (just a bit -- I've been careful to keep that going). I'm behind on homeschooling. My husband calls these the three H's -- Health, House, Homeschooling. Letting these slide will get me in trouble faster than anything."
