Requires landlords to disclose existence of lead service lines and lead water supply plumbing to tenants.
This bill (NJ A432) requires landlords in New Jersey to inspect rental properties within 90 days for lead service lines (pipes connecting water mains to buildings) or lead plumbing. If lead pipes are found, landlords must disclose this to current tenants and provide written notice about health risks to prospective tenants before new leases. Violations carry a $500 penalty per offense, with each day of noncompliance considered a separate violation. The law directly affects all landlords of residential rental properties in New Jersey and aims to ensure tenants are informed about potential lead exposure in drinking water.
