Prohibits self-service storage facilities from charging certain punitive fees to consumers paying with vouchers under certain circumstances.
This bill prohibits self-service storage facilities in New Jersey from charging late fees, pre-foreclosure fees, or unlock fees to customers who pay using government-issued vouchers (such as those from Work First New Jersey or other income assistance programs) when payment delays are caused by the voucher-issuing authority. It directly protects low-income residents using these assistance programs from punitive fees due to administrative delays beyond their control. Violations carry a $1,000 penalty for first offenses, with subsequent violations treated as consumer fraud under state law. The law takes immediate effect and applies to all self-storage facilities defined under state law.
