Bill,
I was watching Channel 6 and they ran a story about Glassboro\’s new law. It created a voluntary partnership with rental property owners and Glassboro\’s housing and police departments. The law requires better background checks prior to renting, adds a lease addendum to keep the rental properties \”crime-free\”, and gives property owners a better chance to evict tenants who commit crimes in their properties.
Most tenant-owner laws in Gloucester County are \”pro-tenant\” making evictions difficult.
When the property owners comply with the law, they get a certification from Glassboro making their property more attractive for tenants.
It sounds like a law that could be adopted here in Gloucester City.
Thanks,
Bob Eberle, Gloucester City…………………………..
