S 2541 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes limit on rent increase for tenants residing in modular or manufactured homes.

This bill limits annual rent increases for tenants living in modular or manufactured homes to 2.5% over any 12-month period. It directly affects tenants in these specific housing types who rent their primary residence, as defined by the bill. Landlords violating the 2.5% cap must revert to the previous rent amount for the lease term and face penalties including $500 for first offenses. The law applies alongside existing "unconscionable rent" protections and does not cover affordable housing units or non-residential properties. It takes effect three months after enactment for new tenancies.
