§ 310. Liability  for  rent  accruing  after induction; termination of   lease.   1. The provisions of this section  shall  apply  to  any  lease   covering   premises   occupied  for  dwelling,  professional,  business,   agricultural, or similar purposes in any case in which  (a)  such  lease   was executed by or on the behalf of a person who, after the execution of   such  lease,  entered  military  service, and (b) the premises so leased   have been occupied for such purposes,  or  for  a  combination  of  such   purposes by such person or by him and his dependents.The  provisions of this section shall also apply to any lease covering   premises occupied for dwelling purposes where such lease was executed by   or on the behalf of a person who, after the  execution  of  such  lease,   entered military service where such lease was also executed by or on the   behalf of the spouse of such a person.2.  Any such lease may be terminated by notice in writing delivered to   the lessor (or his grantee) or to the lessor's (or his grantee's)  agent   by  a  lessee  at  any  time following the date of the beginning of such   military service. Delivery of such notice may be accomplished by placing   it in an envelope properly stamped and duly addressed to the lessor  (or   his  grantee) or to the lessor's (or his grantee's) agent and depositing   the notice in the United States mails.   Termination of any  such  lease   providing  for  monthly  payment  of  rent  shall not be effective until   thirty days after the first date on which the next rental payment is due   and payable subsequent to the date when  such  notice  is  delivered  or   mailed.  In  the case of all other leases, termination shall be effected   on the last day of the month following the month in which such notice is   delivered or mailed and in such case any  unpaid  rental  for  a  period   preceding  termination  shall be proratably computed and any rental paid   in advance for a period succeeding termination shall be refunded by  the   lessor  (or  his  assignee).  Upon  application  by  the  lessor  to the   appropriate court prior to the termination period provided  for  in  the   notice,  any relief granted in this subdivision shall be subject to such   modifications or restrictions as in the opinion of the court justice and   equity may in the circumstances require.3. Any person who shall knowingly seize, hold or detain  the  personal   effects,  clothing,  furniture  or  other property of any person who has   lawfully terminated a lease covered by this section  or  the  spouse  or   dependent  of  any  such  person,  or  in  any manner interfere with the   removal of such property from the premises covered by  such  lease,  for   the  purpose of subjecting or attempting to subject any of such property   to a claim for rent accruing subsequent to the date  of  termination  of   such  lease,  or attempts so to do, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and   shall be punished by imprisonment not to exceed one year or by fine  not   to exceed one thousand dollars, or both.
