NJ A2592

Landlords must provide tenants with copies of written notices received from government entities, utility companies, or developers about work on adjoining properties (construction, rehabilitation, demolition) that may cause damage or hazardous conditions within five business days.

Landlords who intend to conduct potentially hazardous work on adjoining properties they own must notify affected tenants before the work begins.

Notice may be delivered by mail, posted in conspicuous areas visible to tenants, or sent electronically.

Landlords who fail to provide required notice face penalties up to $200 per offense, enforceable through Superior Court or municipal court.

The law applies to landlords renting commercial space or residential units for at least one month, excluding owner-occupied properties with three or fewer units, small residential buildings with two or fewer units, and seasonal/transient lodging.
