(c) For a landlord to seek compensation that includes, but does not exceed,
one month's rent pursuant to subsection (2)(b) of this section, the landlord shall
provide a written statement of actual damages as a direct result of the tenant's
early termination of the residential rental agreement or lease agreement within
thirty days after the date the tenant vacates the property. A landlord's failure to
provide the written statement of damages incurred within thirty days after the date
the tenant vacates the property is a forfeiture of the landlord's right to charge or
collect any future rent following a tenant's early termination of the residential
rental agreement or lease agreement pursuant to this section.
(d) (I) A landlord shall not assign a debt allegedly owed pursuant to
subsection (2)(b) of this section by a victim-survivor to a third-party debt collector
unless the landlord:
(A) Complies with the requirements described in subsections (2)(b) and (2)(c)
of this section; and
(B) Provides at least ninety days' written notice to the victim-survivor
expressing the landlord's intent to assign the debt to a third-party debt collector.
The written notice must be provided through any method of communication that a
victim-survivor requests for correspondence, or if no method was provided, through
the last-known electronic communication contact information, which may include
the victim-survivor's email address.
(II) A landlord shall not assign a debt to a third party if a victim-survivor
complies with the lawful notice seeking collection of the unpaid rent that is made
pursuant to subsection (2)(b) of this section and this subsection (2)(d) before the
expiration of the ninety-day notice required pursuant to subsection (2)(d)(I)(B) of
this section.
