A 4296 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires development and promulgation of tenant legal resources notice for tenants of certain multiple dwellings.

This bill requires landlords of multi-unit rental properties (excluding very small owner-occupied buildings with three or fewer units) to provide tenants with a legal resources notice. Landlords must distribute the notice at move-in, lease renewal, and when legal action is taken against a tenant, and post it prominently in the building. The notice, developed by the state Department of Community Affairs, lists free and private legal services, common tenant rights, and a $1,000 penalty for non-compliance. It directly affects landlords in qualifying properties and ensures tenants have accessible information about legal assistance.
