Prohibits fee for keeping emotional support animal in residential rental property.

This bill prohibits landlords in New Jersey from charging tenants additional fees, rent increases, or security deposits related to keeping an emotional support animal in residential rental properties. It applies to most rental situations but excludes owner-occupied buildings with four or fewer units, and requires tenants to provide health provider documentation about their emotional support animal at lease signing. The law also establishes legal penalties for landlords who violate these rules, allowing tenants to seek $1,000 per violation plus attorney fees in court.
