New Jersey S1007 protects victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking from rental and lease discrimination.
New Jersey S1007 provides protections for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking by prohibiting landlords from terminating tenancies, failing to renew tenancies, or refusing to enter into rental agreements based on the tenant's or applicant's status as a victim. The bill also allows tenants to terminate leases early if they face an imminent threat of serious physical harm and provide appropriate documentation. Landlords violating these provisions may face civil liability for damages, court costs, and attorneys' fees.
