2. Lease termination procedure. (a) A tenant who meets the
requirements in subdivision one of this section may terminate the
tenant's lease by notice in writing delivered to the lessor or owner of
the premises occupied by such person, or to the lessor's or owner's
agent, and to any co-tenants of such lessee or tenant other than the
perpetrator of domestic violence. The notice shall specify the
termination date which shall be no earlier than thirty days after such
notice is delivered. If the notice is mailed via first class mail, it
shall be deemed delivered five days after mailing. If the tenant asserts
that the lessor or owner is the perpetrator of domestic violence, a
person authorized by the tenant may deliver such notice on the tenant's
behalf.
