Requires owner of transient accommodation to be present at transient accommodation during short-term rental; establishes short-term rental agreement limit.
This New Jersey bill requires owners of short-term rentals to be physically present at their property while guests stay, unless the rental lasts longer than 30 days or a written agreement states otherwise. It also limits each property to only one active short-term rental agreement at any given time. Owners who fail to follow these rules face a $1,000 fine for each violation, which can be enforced through a summary court proceeding. The law defines "transient accommodations" to include homes rented via online marketplaces or professionally managed units, while excluding hotels, schools, and long-term leases of 90 days or more.
