S 2192 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires landlords to disclose existence of lead service lines and lead water supply plumbing to tenants.

This bill (S 2192) requires New Jersey landlords to inspect rental properties within 90 days of the law taking effect to identify lead service lines (pipes connecting water mains to buildings) or lead plumbing. Landlords must then disclose this information to current tenants and provide written notice about lead risks to prospective tenants before new leases are signed. Violations carry a civil penalty of up to $500 per offense, with daily violations considered separate offenses. The law directly affects landlords of rental properties and their tenants by mandating transparency about potential lead exposure in drinking water.
