New Requirement for Businesses & Rental Properties:
The state of New Jersey recently passed a new law mandating that all rental properties and business owners maintain liability insurance – and provide proof of insurance to the municipality where the property is located.
This law requires all business and/or rental unit owners to maintain liability insurance in an amount of no less than $500,000.
Owners of multifamily homes, which are four or fewer units, shall maintain liability insurance acts in an amount no less than $300,000.
Proof of insurance is required with submission of application for a Mercantile Rental Permit. If you have any questions, contact the City Clerk’s Office at 609-263-4461, ext. 1200.
