Requires landlord to provide various kitchen appliances in certain dwelling units offered for rent.

AI Summary

This bill requires landlords to provide certain kitchen appliances, specifically a refrigerator and a stove (either electric or gas), in all residential dwelling units that they rent or lease to tenants for at least one month. The bill defines key terms like "dwelling unit," "landlord," and "tenant" to clarify the scope of the requirements. Landlords who violate the provisions of the bill can face penalties of up to $500 per offense, and tenants can also pursue separate legal action for actual damages. The bill also directs the Commissioner of Community Affairs to adopt regulations to implement the new law, which will take effect on the first day of the second month after it is enacted, and apply to new lease agreements entered on or after that date.
