(d) In the event a servicemember tenant dies during
active duty, an adult member of the servicemember tenant's family may terminate
a rental agreement of a term of one year or less, or a rental agreement with a month
to month tenancy, without penalty or fees for early termination or liability for
future rent if the family member provides at least fifteen days written notice to
the landlord. The notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the servicemember tenant's
death certificate and:
(1) A copy of official military orders showing the servicemember
tenant was on active duty; or
(2) A written verification signed by the servicemember
tenant's commanding officer.
(e) If the servicemember tenant is solely liable
on the rental agreement, the rental agreement shall terminate on the early termination
date described in subsection (a), (b), or (d), and the servicemember tenant or servicemember
tenant's estate or family member, as applicable, shall be liable for rent owed through
the early termination date plus any previous obligations outstanding as of that
date. The amount due from the servicemember tenant shall be paid to the landlord
on or before the early termination date.
