New Jersey S279 establishes confidentiality of landlord-tenant court records and addresses adverse actions on rental applications.

New Jersey S279 aims to protect the confidentiality of landlord-tenant court records and address adverse actions on rental applications. The bill mandates that court records of landlord-tenant actions remain confidential and unavailable to the public for the first 60 days after filing, and indefinitely unless the action results in a judgment for possession. It also requires landlords to provide written notice to prospective tenants of any adverse actions on their rental applications, including reasons and screening information.
