Introduced Text

New Jersey S2610 requires landlords to attach a certificate of inspection or occupancy to residential leases.

New Jersey S2610 mandates that landlords attach a copy of a certificate of inspection or occupancy to residential leases and deliver it to tenants at the time of lease execution. This certificate, issued by a municipality after inspecting the dwelling unit, confirms the unit meets legal standards. The bill aims to ensure tenants are aware of the unit's inspected and certified status. If a landlord fails to comply, the lease becomes voidable at the tenant's discretion, allowing the tenant to vacate without financial obligation.
