Include specific examples of valid reasons (e.g., uninhabitable conditions, military deployment, etc.) and the steps a tenant should take to ensure compliance with local laws. Additionally, write the output in a clear, professional tone, similar to my communication style, and ensure the information is actionable and easy to understand.
