Requires inclusion of information about discriminatory housing practices in Truth in Renting Guide.
Bill A2440 requires New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs to add specific language to the annual Truth-in-Renting Guide about housing discrimination related to rental subsidies. It mandates that the guide explicitly state it is unlawful for landlords to refuse to rent to tenants using housing vouchers (like Section 8) or to advertise such refusal, as these qualify as a "source of lawful income" protected under New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination. The bill adds this detail to the existing guide, which currently covers general anti-discrimination protections but lacks this specific information about voucher discrimination. This change directly affects landlords, tenants, and the public by clarifying prohibited practices in rental transactions. The requirement applies to the guide's annual update, which is posted online in English and Spanish.
