NJ A2585

Requires property owners or landlords to notify residential tenants of hearings on development applications for the property where tenants live, at least 10 days before the hearing date.

Notice to tenants must be provided through one of three methods: personal service, certified mail to the tenant's known mailing address, or posting in a conspicuous place in an interior common area accessible to tenants.

The posting option is not available if the property lacks an interior common area; in such cases, personal service or certified mail must be used.

Development applications cannot be approved until the property owner or landlord files a certification with the municipal agency confirming that all required tenant notices were provided.

Amends P.L.1975, c.291 (the Municipal Land Use Law) to add tenant notification requirements alongside existing notice requirements for property owners within 200 feet, adjoining municipalities, and county/state agencies.
