Expands residential landlord registration requirements and permitted penalties.

This bill expands registration requirements for residential landlords in New Jersey and increases the penalties for non-compliance. It mandates that landlords of single-family rentals, duplexes, and larger apartment buildings file detailed certificates with local officials, which must include owner information, contact details for maintenance staff, emergency representatives, and proof of insurance. Additionally, the bill requires landlords to complete approved training on tenant rights and housing safety standards, with specific certification deadlines for different property types. Violations of these new rules could result in fines of up to $500 per offense and the potential revocation of the landlord's registration certificate.
