S 4168 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes the "Safe and Sanitary Rental Housing Act."

The "Safe and Sanitary Rental Housing Act" requires landlords to register with detailed information (including contact details and Social Security numbers for corporate owners) and mandates 90 days of registration before courts can issue eviction judgments. It establishes a tiered inspection system for multiple dwellings based on violation history, with more frequent inspections for properties with unresolved safety issues, and requires landlords who accept federal rental subsidies to register for 90 days before receiving rehabilitation funding. The act ensures courts address habitability violations by directing tenant rent payments toward repairs when non-payment is due to unsafe conditions. This bill directly affects landlords and tenants in rental properties, particularly in multiple-dwelling buildings.
