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.
