New Jersey A3157 allows landlords to take actions after the death of a tenant under certain conditions.
New Jersey A3157 amends existing laws to allow landlords to take actions after the death of a tenant. The bill specifies that a landlord may dispose of a tenant's property if the landlord reasonably believes the tenant has abandoned the property. This includes situations where the landlord has not been contacted by an executor, administrator, or representative of the estate within 21 days of the tenant's death. The bill also mandates that landlords store tenant property in a safe place and notify relevant parties, including any co-signers or known occupants listed by the deceased tenant.
