Bill > A4841

This bill amends New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination to prohibit housing discrimination based on a person's source of lawful income, including federal, state, or local public assistance or housing vouchers, rental assistance funds, disability benefits, or court-ordered payments. The bill also prohibits landlords from refusing to accept certain forms of lawful income as payment or applying minimum income requirements that are not based solely on the tenant's portion of the rent. Additionally, the bill expands the state's Division on Civil Rights' authority to investigate and address discrimination related to a person's source of lawful income used for rental or mortgage payments.
