A 5406 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits self-service storage facilities from charging certain punitive fees to consumers paying with vouchers under certain circumstances.

This bill prohibits self-service storage facilities in New Jersey from charging late fees, pre-foreclosure fees, or unlock fees to customers paying with government-issued vouchers (like those from Work First New Jersey) when payment delays are caused by the issuing government agency. It directly affects low-income residents using state or federal income assistance programs for storage payments. The law imposes a $1,000 civil penalty for first violations and treats subsequent violations as consumer fraud under state law. Storage facilities must comply with these rules to avoid fines or legal action.
