New Jersey A5495 aims to regulate the use of automated tenant screening tools in the rental application process. The bill prohibits landlords from using non-quantifiable metrics, such as race or gender, in these tools. It mandates that developers of these tools conduct annual bias audits and implement audit recommendations. Landlords must notify prospective tenants of the use of these tools. The bill establishes civil penalties for non-compliance, with penalties increasing for repeated violations. The goal is to promote transparency and non-discriminatory practices in tenant screening.
