New Jersey Landlord Coronavirus Security Deposit Addendum

28 Apr New Jersey Landlord Coronavirus Security Deposit Addendum

New Jersey Tenants Can Now Ask Their Landlord to Apply Security Deposit to Rent Due and Owing During COVID-19 State of Emergency

On April 24, 2020, in light of economic concerns stemming from the Coronavirus pandemic, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed into law Executive Order No. 128.  The Executive Order gives New Jersey residential tenants the ability to utilize their security deposits to pay any rent either due or coming due during the Coronavirus.  For more information on the order, you can click here.

In response to the Order, my firm has drafted an addendum that can be executed upon the tenant requesting to use their security deposit to pay rent due to the Coronavirus emergency.   Please feel free to download the form below:
