Governor Jon Corzine signed into law on a new window guard legislation that took effect immediately. The legislation rules that were adopted in November 2005, which, among other changes, extends the previous window guard law that applies to multiple dwelling units to condominiums and cooperatives. REALTORS® who have prepared any leases since Monday, July 31, 2006 for a condominium or cooperative unit that is not a seasonal rental unit, should notify the tenants that they have the right to request windows guards if a child or children age 10 or under will reside in the unit or are present for a substantial amount of time. The new law requires that the owner, lessor, agent or other person who manages or controls the unit verbally inform the tenant at the time the lease is signed of the tenant's right to request the installation of approved window guards. In addition, verification that the verbal notice was provided and understood must be made in a document separate from the lease that is signed by the both the tenant and the owner, lessor, agent, or other person who manages or controls the unit. A verification form is available by CLICKING HERE. NJAR secured an exemption to the law for condominiums and cooperatives that are used as seasonal rental units. The term multiple dwelling includes any building or structure of one or more stories, in which three or more units of dwelling space are occupied, or are intended to be occupied by three or more persons who live independently of each other. { 0 comments } { add comment } { Permanent Link }
