Provides rental and lease protections for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking.

The bill amends New Jersey law to protect victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking from eviction or discrimination in rental agreements. Landlords cannot terminate a tenancy, fail to renew a tenancy, or refuse to enter into a rental agreement based on a tenant's or applicant's status as a victim of these crimes. The bill also specifies that documentation such as a restraining order or law enforcement record can be provided to support a victim's status. A landlord who violates these protections may be liable to the tenant or applicant in a civil action for damages.
