Overview
This bill expands the requirements for landlords in New Jersey to provide receipts for cash rent payments. It broadens the definition of ‘landlord’ to include anyone renting or leasing a dwelling unit for at least one month, excluding hotels, motels, and similar establishments. Landlords must now provide receipts detailing the payment amount, purpose, and parties involved, and tenants have a defense against eviction if the landlord failed to provide a receipt for relevant months.
