(5) A landlord shall not inquire about, consider, or require disclosure of any
information from a rental applicant regarding the applicant's status as a victim-survivor or experience with unlawful sexual behavior, stalking, domestic violence,
or domestic abuse.
(6) This section does not prohibit a tenant from terminating the tenant's
residential rental agreement or lease agreement prior to the court's entry of an
eviction order.
(7) (a) If a tenant to a residential rental agreement or lease agreement
provides notice to the landlord that the tenant is a victim-survivor of unlawful
sexual behavior, stalking, domestic violence, or domestic abuse and provides the
landlord with the documentation required pursuant to subsection (2)(a.5) of this
section, the landlord shall not prevent the tenant from changing the locks, or
impose fees on, take any adverse action against, or otherwise retaliate against the
tenant for changing the locks, including electronic locks, or prevent the tenant from
taking any other reasonable safety precautions, including, but not limited to,
installing window bars, cameras, or other nonpermanent modifications to the
dwelling unit. A landlord must take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure the
safety of the dwelling unit in response to a tenant's safety concerns. Any provision
in a residential rental agreement or lease agreement that prohibits a tenant from
changing a lock as a safety precaution or taking other reasonable safety
precautions is null and void and unenforceable.
