Overview
The Immigrant Tenant Protection Act aims to safeguard residential tenants in New Jersey, particularly those with limited English proficiency or immigration concerns. It prohibits landlords from disclosing a tenant’s immigration status, using it to influence their decision to vacate, or taking action to evict them based on this information. The bill also establishes legal remedies for tenants who experience such violations and creates an affirmative defense against eviction based on discriminatory practices related to immigration status.
