A 3754 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Clarifies and expands landlord registration procedures; creates certain rights for tenants; makes certain changes concerning tenant notifications, inspections, and maintenance in multiple dwellings; permits percentage of affordable housing obligation to be satisfied by certain rehabilitation projects.

This bill establishes the "Landlord Registration and Tenant Protection Act" to update New Jersey's landlord registration system and strengthen tenant protections. Landlords (including owners of condos, cooperatives, and multi-unit buildings) must register with local authorities within seven days of taking ownership, providing detailed contact information like names, addresses, and phone numbers. It creates new tenant rights regarding advance notice for inspections, maintenance requests, and repairs, while also allowing landlords to meet affordable housing requirements through rehabilitation projects instead of new construction. The law directly affects landlords managing rental properties and their tenants in multiple-dwelling buildings across New Jersey.
