Bill Summary
This bill amends section 3 of P.L.2019, c.300 (C.46:8-49.2), to expand the definition of landlords required to provide a receipt for a rent cash payment made by a tenant. This bill expands the definition of a "landlord" to include any person who rents or leases or offers to rent or lease, for a term of at least one month, one or more dwelling units, except dwelling units, hotels, motels or other guest houses serving transient or seasonal tenants. Under current statute, a landlord includes any person who rents or leases or offers to rent or lease, for a term of at least one month, dwelling units, except dwelling units in rental premises containing not more than two such units, or in owner-occupied premises of not more than three dwelling units, or in hotels, motels, or other guest houses serving transient or seasonal guests.
AI Summary
This bill expands the definition of landlords who are required to provide a receipt for a rent cash payment made by a tenant. The bill broadens the definition to include any person who rents or leases, for at least one month, one or more dwelling units, except for hotels, motels, or other guest houses serving transient or seasonal tenants. The current law only applies to landlords of certain rental premises with two or fewer units or owner-occupied premises with three or fewer units. The bill maintains the existing penalty provisions for landlords who violate the receipt requirement.
