Requires landlords to provide tenants with certain notice concerning conditions that may cause damage or hazards on rental property.
New Jersey's S 1091 requires landlords to notify tenants within five business days if work on adjacent properties (such as construction, demolition, or rehabilitation) may cause damage or hazardous conditions to the rental property. This applies to landlords renting commercial or residential units (excluding single-family homes, small owner-occupied properties, or seasonal rentals under 125 days). Notices must be delivered via mail, conspicuous posting, or electronic means, and landlords who fail to comply face penalties of up to $200 per violation. The law aims to ensure tenants are informed about potential safety risks from nearby development projects.
