I want to move to get away from my abuser, but I live in an apartment. Can I break my lease?

Arizona law allows a victim of domestic violence to end a rental agreement early, without having to pay future rent, penalties, or fees for early termination. However, the plaintiff must let the landlord know, in writing, of their intent to end the lease early, and they must also give the landlord a copy of either an Order of Protection or a police report regarding the domestic violence incident. The incident of domestic violence that is causing the lease termination must have occurred within 30 days of the victim giving notice to the landlord.
