Overview
This bill restricts landlords in New Jersey from conducting ‘hard’ credit inquiries when evaluating applicants for affordable housing. Landlords can still perform ‘soft’ credit inquiries with the applicant’s consent. Violations of this law will result in penalties, increasing with subsequent offenses. The bill also addresses how consumer reporting agencies should handle multiple credit inquiries related to rental applications.
