S 2904 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Directs Division of Consumer Affairs to establish public information campaign concerning real estate rental scams.

S 2904 requires New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs to create a public education campaign about real estate rental scams, directly affecting renters and potential renters in the state. The campaign will provide multilingual resources (in English and Spanish) via the division's website, brochures, and pamphlets, explaining how to recognize scams like fake listings or fraudulent requests for upfront payments. It also mandates a toll-free phone number for consumers to verify landlords, agents, or rental properties. The bill focuses on preventing financial harm by educating the public on common scam tactics, such as demands for wire transfers or showing properties before signing leases.
