A 5747 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Limits increases to certain recurring fees charged to residential tenant.

This bill limits annual increases for recurring fees charged to residential tenants in New Jersey to 10% over the previous 12 months. It defines "recurring fees" as costs not included in base rent - such as pet fees, parking, amenities, or credit card processing charges - applied repeatedly under a lease. Landlords violating this cap must revert to the prior fee level, face $1,000 penalties per unit, and may be sued by tenants for damages plus attorney fees. The bill also specifies that violations constitute "unconscionable rent increases," blocking eviction actions based on such violations under existing law.
