Revises definition of "landlord" to include rooming and boarding house owners and operators with regard to ordinances holding landlords to certain standards of responsibility.

This bill revises New Jersey's definition of "landlord" to explicitly include owners and operators of rooming and boarding houses under existing ordinances. It would allow municipalities to apply the same standards of responsibility - currently required for small rentals (under four units) and mobile home owners - to these properties. The change authorizes local governments to adopt or update ordinances ensuring rooming and boarding houses meet community safety and maintenance standards, without altering existing municipal rules. This is a technical adjustment to expand coverage, not a new requirement.
