Bill overview
The Immigrant Tenant Protection Act in New Jersey aims to safeguard residential tenants, particularly those with immigration concerns, by prohibiting landlords from using immigration status as a basis for eviction or intimidation. It establishes legal protections against disclosing a tenant’s immigration status and prevents landlords from taking adverse actions based on it. The bill also codifies the warranty of habitability and provides tenants with legal recourse if their rights are violated.
