Overview
This bill extends the protected tenancy period for certain senior citizens and tenants with disabilities in New Jersey. Currently, these tenants have a limited time to remain in their homes after a building is converted to condominiums or cooperatives. This bill extends that protection to the full lifetime of the tenant, ensuring they can remain in their homes as long as they need to, especially considering rising housing costs and the potential for relocation to negatively impact their health and well-being. The bill also clarifies definitions related to ‘senior citizen tenant’ and ‘disabled tenant’ to ensure consistent application of the protections.
