New Jersey A1303 prohibits landlords from considering certain landlord-tenant court records when screening tenants and clarifies rent receivership.

New Jersey A1303 amends tenant screening rules by prohibiting landlords from considering housing court records unless the case resulted in a judgment for possession, the decision is not under appeal, and the judgment was entered no more than three years prior to the rental application. If a landlord takes adverse action on a rental application, they must provide a written notice to the prospective tenant stating the reasons for the adverse action and disclose any screening information accessed by the landlord. A landlord violating these provisions would be liable for penalties.
