N.J.S.A. 55:13A-1 et seq. § 55:13A-7.19 gives tenants in New Jersey multiple dwellings the right to receive emergency contact information and instructions for a free social services hotline, both posted in common areas and included in their lease in prominent boldface type. If this information is missing from a posted location, the management company's website, or a lease, that may constitute a violation of the statute. Tenants who believe these requirements have not been met can document what is missing, contact a local tenant-rights organization, or reach out to the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs for guidance on available remedies.
