Extends time period for tenants receiving federal housing choice voucher program assistance to locate new housing after landlord sells property.
This bill extends the time tenants using federal housing choice vouchers (Section 8) have to find new housing after their landlord sells the property. Currently, tenants have 60 days to relocate, but this bill sets a new standard of at least 180 calendar days as the initial period. The change applies to all housing agencies in New Jersey administering the federal voucher program, replacing the previous 60-day standard with a longer, fixed timeframe. Tenants directly affected are those receiving federal housing vouchers who must move due to a property sale, giving them more time to secure new housing.
