• Security deposits are capped at 1.5× monthly rent under N.J.S.A. 46:8-21.2. Your landlord must hold the deposit in an NJ FDIC-insured account and pay annual interest (§46:8-19). Return within 30 days of move-out (§46:8-21.1) or face double damages.
• Fair Chance in Housing — landlords cannot ask about criminal history on the initial application. Background checks happen only after a conditional offer (N.J.S.A. 46:8-52 et seq.).
• Section 8 — your housing-choice voucher is a protected source of income. A landlord cannot decline an applicant because they intend to pay with Section 8 (NJLAD).
• Eviction — good cause required for all evictions under the NJ Anti-Eviction Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1). Lease expiration alone is not grounds.
