New Jersey governor signs legislation to mark Juneteenth that bars landlords from requesting tenants’ criminal history

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has signed a bill prohibiting landlords from asking prospective renters about whether they have a criminal record, saying he put his name to the measure to celebrate the Juneteenth holiday.

“Today, I am proud to sign the Fair Chance in Housing Act into law and work to level what has been for too long an uneven playing field when it comes to access to housing,” the Democratic governor said in a statement on Friday, calling the bill “nation-leading legislation.”

That’s quite a precipice to have in a area like the tri state area. There are some real scumbags there.
