Chamber Passed·6/18/26
Introduced Text

New Jersey S388 requires owners of multiple dwellings with three or more floors to prioritize senior citizens and disabled residents for lower floor.

New Jersey S388 mandates that owners of multiple dwellings with three or more floors must give priority to senior citizens and disabled residents when they seek to move to lower floor units. This priority applies to units with the same number of bedrooms. The bill defines "qualifying residents" as senior citizens or individuals with disabilities that hinder or limit mobility. Owners must provide these residents with the right of first refusal over outside applicants and other non-qualifying residents. The bill exempts buildings held in a cooperative form of ownership.
