N.Y. Military Law § 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.
