Requires owner of transient accommodation to be present at transient accommodation during short-term rental; establishes short-term rental agreement limit.
This New Jersey bill requires owners of short-term rentals to be physically present at their property during guest stays unless the visit lasts longer than 30 days or a written agreement states otherwise. It also mandates that each rental unit can only have one active short-term booking at any given time. Owners who fail to follow these rules face a $1,000 fine for each violation, which can be enforced through a local court. The law applies to various types of private homes and managed units but excludes hotels, schools, hospitals, and long-term leases of 90 days or more.
