A 4831 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires inclusion of information about discriminatory housing practices in Truth in Renting Guide.

This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs to update the Truth in Renting Guide to include specific information about discriminatory housing practices related to rental subsidies. The amendment mandates that the guide explicitly state it is illegal for landlords to refuse to rent to individuals using Section 8 vouchers or other lawful rental subsidies, as well as to advertise such refusals. By adding these details, the bill aims to inform tenants and landlords that housing vouchers are considered a protected source of lawful income under the state's Law Against Discrimination. The updated guide must be available in both English and Spanish and posted on the department's website annually. This change directly affects landlords, tenants, and the general public by clarifying existing legal protections against discrimination based on income sources.
