Establishes the "Safe Sanitary Subsidized Rental Housing Bill of Rights."
This bill establishes the "Safe Sanitary Subsidized Rental Housing Bill of Rights" to strengthen protections for tenants in publicly subsidized rental housing in New Jersey. It requires landlords receiving rental subsidies to maintain safe and sanitary conditions and creates a process where courts must notify the Department of Community Affairs when habitability issues are alleged in subsidized units. Under the bill, housing inspections must occur within 10 days of such notices, and landlords found to have significant violations may face withholding of rental subsidies until repairs are completed. The legislation also mandates that landlords of subsidized properties register for at least 90 days before a court can enter a judgment of possession, and it updates existing landlord registration requirements.
