New Jersey Lead-Safe Certification

Landlords Guide to NJ’s Lead Safe Certification

New Jersey’s newest lead-based paint law, “New Jersey’s Lead-Safe Certification,” went into effect July 22, 2022 and directly targets ALL pre-1978 rental properties. In addition to new lead paint inspection intervals.

What Landlords Need to Know

Effective July 22, 2022, New Jersey requires lead paint inspections (visual only for Wharton) for all targeted rental units, or by July 24, 2024 if there is no tenant turnover. This new law is not currently tied to time-of-sale requirements.

The Lead-Safe Certification will be valid for a two-year period. As such, a unit will not need to be re-inspected any more frequently, than once every two years.
