Requires landlord provide various kitchen appliances in certain dwelling units offered for rent.

This New Jersey bill requires landlords to provide two specific appliances in residential rental units to ensure habitability: a refrigerator that maintains safe food storage temperatures (32-50°F) and a stove that is safely connected (electric with sufficient capacity or gas with permanent fixtures to prevent leaks). It applies to landlords leasing standard residential units (excluding hotels, motels, or transient accommodations) for terms of at least one month. Violations carry a $500 penalty per offense, enforceable by the Commissioner of Community Affairs, the Attorney General, or aggrieved tenants, who may also sue for damages including attorney fees. The law takes effect for new leases entered on or after the second month following enactment.
