REMINDER: NEW TENANT LAW TOOK EFFECT FEBRUARY 1, 2014
|
On January 21, 2014, Gov. Chris Christie signed New Jersey S-2018 into law. The law allows residential tenants to recover attorney's fees and expenses as a result of a "tenant's successful defense of any action or summary proceeding filed by the landlord against a tenant, arising out of an alleged failure of the tenant to perform any agreement in the lease, or as the result of any successful action or summary proceeding filed by the tenant against a landlord, arising out of an alleged failure of the landlord to perform any agreement in the lease." NJR� updated their Standard Form of Residential Lease, Form 125 in 2014 to reflect the law. The lease form is available at http://www.njrealtor.com/formsimplicity/ at no cost to members. The law took effect February 1, 2014.
