New Jersey A2627 aims to protect tenants from excessive surcharges on online rent payments. The bill prohibits landlords from imposing, passing through, or accepting surcharges over $5 per monthly rental payment for online rent payment methods. If a third-party online payment method requires a surcharge exceeding $5, the landlord must either assume the full cost or reimburse the tenant within 10 days. The bill also mandates that landlords provide a receipt with an attestation affirming compliance with these provisions.
