Daily News | South Jersey landlords are accused of violating a new state housing discrimination law
Top New Jersey prosecutors have accused landlords in South Jersey and across the state of violating a new law meant to help people with criminal records find housing and to eliminate policies that disproportionately harm Black renters.
“The enforcement actions we’re announcing today send a clear message that we will not tolerate violations of this landmark law, and we will continue to actively enforce the critical protections it provides,” Acting Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin said in a statement. “Make no mistake: If you violate the FCHA, we will hold you accountable.”
The law is meant to encourage landlords to assess each rental applicant individually, taking into account factors such as the severity of a crime and how long ago it occurred.
