Expands definition of landlords required to provide receipt for rent cash payment made by tenant.
This bill requires most residential landlords in New Jersey to provide a written or email receipt for each cash rent payment made by a tenant. It expands the requirement to cover all landlords renting properties for at least one month (excluding hotels, motels, or transient housing), removing previous exemptions for small landlords like those managing two-unit properties or owner-occupied homes with three units. The receipt must include the payment amount, date, purpose, and names of both landlord and tenant. Landlords who fail to comply face escalating penalties starting at $100 per violation, with higher fines for repeat offenses within five years.
