A 4641 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Concerns authority of municipal governing body to notify insurance company if there is activity at rental property which is suspected to violate general terms of rental property insurance policy.

This bill authorizes New Jersey municipalities to create rules allowing them to notify insurance companies when observable activity at rental properties appears to violate insurance policy terms. It directly affects landlords, tenants, insurance providers, and local governments by enabling municipalities to designate officials who report issues like excessive noise, dangerous overcrowding, underage drinking, drug use, vandalism, violence, or reckless behavior without entering the property. The legislation also permits municipalities to request copies of rental property insurance policies from owners and takes effect immediately upon passage.
