Requires landlord to provide various kitchen appliances in certain dwelling units offered for rent.
This bill requires landlords in New Jersey to provide a working refrigerator (maintaining temperatures between 32°F and 50°F) and a safe stove (with proper electrical or gas connections) in residential rental units offered for lease terms of at least one month. It directly affects landlords renting standard residential units (excluding hotels, motels, seasonal rentals, or health care facilities) and their tenants. The law deems units "unfit for human occupation" without these appliances, imposing penalties of up to $500 per violation and allowing tenants to sue for damages, including attorney fees. Enforcement is handled by the Commissioner of Community Affairs, the Attorney General, or tenants through the Superior Court.
