311-B - Cancellation without penalty of certain additional rental contracts.

 
    §  311-b.  Cancellation  without  penalty of certain additional rental
  contracts. 1. The provision of this section shall apply  to  any  rental
  contracts  in which (a) such a contract was executed by or on the behalf
  of a person, who, after the execution of such contract,  entered  active
  military  service,  and  (b)  where such entry into military service now
  renders it impossible  for  such  person  to  abide  by  the  terms  and
  conditions of the rental contract.
    2.  A  person  who enters into a rental contract for goods or services
  not otherwise addressed by the provisions of this  article,  who  enters
  into  active  military  service  subsequent  to  the  execution  of such
  contract, and where his or her  military  activation  causes  it  to  be
  impossible  for  him  or her to abide by the terms and conditions of the
  rental contract, is entitled to cancel such contract at no  penalty  and
  with a full refund of any moneys which may have been placed on deposit.
    3.  Any such contract may be terminated by notice in writing delivered
  to the contractor by such person in active  military  service  canceling
  his  or  her  rental  contract  within one week of his or her receipt of
  orders to report for military service, and such notice shall  include  a
  copy  of  the  orders  in  question.  Delivery  of  such notice shall be
  accomplished by certified mail duly addressed to the contractor.
