stalking, domestic violence, or domestic abuse and provides to the landlord
evidence of unlawful sexual behavior, stalking, domestic violence, or domestic
abuse as described in subsection (2)(a.5) of this section, and the tenant intends to
vacate the premises due to fear of danger because of the unlawful sexual behavior,
stalking, domestic violence, or domestic abuse, then the tenant may terminate the
residential rental agreement or lease agreement and vacate the premises without
further obligation except as otherwise provided in subsection (2)(b) of this section.
