NJ Legal Rights explains, in plain language, the rules that protect New Jersey renters and consumers: deposits, repairs, eviction and rent, contractors, used cars and the Lemon Law, debt collectors, small claims, utility shutoffs and where to get free help.
Every guide is based on what the State publishes for the public: the Department of Community Affairs’ Truth in Renting guide, the Division of Consumer Affairs’ guides and Lemon Law materials, the Board of Public Utilities’ Utility Customer Bill of Rights, and federal rules from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Regulation F and the FTC’s Used Car Rule.
We are not a law firm, and nothing here is legal advice. We do not name or recommend private lawyers or companies. The Rights clock on this site runs in your browser and only counts dates from the rules described in the guides.
Laws, fees and court limits change. If you have a court date or a deadline, contact the court clerk, a legal services office or a lawyer right away.
