Directs Division of Consumer Affairs to establish public information campaign concerning real estate rental scams.
This bill requires New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs to create a public education campaign about real estate rental scams. The campaign will provide materials (like websites, booklets, and pamphlets in English and Spanish) to help consumers recognize and report scams, including a toll-free hotline for inquiries. It directly affects renters and prospective tenants in New Jersey who may encounter fraudulent rental listings. The bill mandates these specific outreach tools but does not change existing laws or create new penalties.
