S 1443 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes mortgage payment relief and foreclosure protection for certain homeowners impacted by the remnants of Hurricane Ida.

New Jersey's S 1443 provides mortgage payment relief and foreclosure protection for homeowners directly impacted by Hurricane Ida's 2021 remnants. It requires mortgage servicers to grant a one-year forbearance (temporary payment pause) to eligible homeowners who received federal disaster assistance for Ida-related home damage, meet income limits (under 150% of area median income), and have limited savings. During this period, servicers cannot charge fees, penalties, or report missed payments to credit agencies, and must halt foreclosure actions. The law aims to prevent displacement for thousands of affected homeowners while ensuring temporary financial relief.
