A 3263 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes the "Safe and Sanitary Rental Housing Act."

This bill establishes the "Safe and Sanitary Rental Housing Act" to improve safety and sanitation standards in New Jersey's rental housing. It requires landlords to register with detailed information about ownership, emergency contacts, and maintenance personnel, and mandates annual certification of registration accuracy. The bill strengthens the warranty of habitability by requiring courts to consider habitability violations when tenants fail to pay rent, and creates a new system for tracking inspections and tenant complaints. Landlords who fail to comply face penalties of up to $500 per violation, and the law aims to hold landlords accountable for providing safe and sanitary housing for tenants.
