Bill overview
This bill would allow residential tenants in New Jersey to take legal action against landlords for alleged unconscionable rent increases. It requires landlords to provide a detailed rationale for rent increases and offer tenants a chance to negotiate a lower amount. If negotiations fail, tenants can sue for an unconscionable rent hike, and the state will allocate $2 million to support these efforts, including public awareness campaigns and judicial training.
