(a.5) (I) For the purposes of subsection (2)(a) of this section, to provide
evidence that the tenant is a victim-survivor of unlawful sexual behavior, stalking,
domestic violence, or domestic abuse, a tenant may provide to the landlord at least
one of the following:
(A) A self-attestation affidavit that states the tenant is a victim-survivor of
unlawful sexual behavior, stalking, domestic violence, or domestic abuse and that
the incident of unlawful sexual behavior, stalking, domestic violence, or domestic
abuse is the cause of, or contributed to, termination of the residential tenancy. If a
landlord receives documentation pursuant to this subsection (2)(a.5)(I) that contains
conflicting information, the landlord may require a tenant to submit a letter signed
by a qualified third party pursuant to this subsection (2)(a.5)(I)(B). The self-attestation affidavit must include the name of the party who is allegedly
responsible for the unlawful sexual behavior, stalking, domestic violence, or
domestic abuse, if the name of the party is known and if the tenant determines it is
safe to provide.
(B) A letter signed by a qualified third party, including, but not limited to, an
employee, agent, or volunteer of a victim-survivor service provider, an attorney, a
social worker, a medical professional, a faith leader, or a mental health provider
from whom a tenant has sought assistance relating to unlawful sexual behavior,
stalking, domestic violence, or domestic abuse. The letter must state that the
qualified third party believes that the incident of unlawful sexual behavior, stalking,
domestic abuse, or domestic violence occurred and is the grounds for termination
of the residential tenancy;
