Concerns application of residential rental property inspection findings in rental assistance determinations and eviction actions.

This bill requires landlords receiving state rental assistance to maintain compliance with New Jersey's housing standards and promptly fix violations. The Department of Community Affairs must use a statewide electronic database of rental property inspections to verify landlords' compliance and may end rental assistance for units failing inspections, unless this would cause unnecessary hardship to tenants. It also mandates that New Jersey courts can access this inspection database during eviction cases or related proceedings. The changes apply directly to landlords participating in New Jersey's State Rental Assistance Program (S-RAP) and the Department of Community Affairs.
