What the petition asks
After experiencing an abusive and controlling relationship, I became a victim to control by way of contract law. A residential rental lease should have clauses to terminate or surrender as a result of an abusive partner.
Contract law - a lease is a lease
No break clause
No way out
Mental or physical abuse is a tool of control. Signing a lease should not mean you are tied to it should you be mistreated by perpetrator.
