1. a. A developer subject to the registration requirements of section 6 of P.L.1977, c.419 (C.45:22A-26) shall organize or cause to be organized an association whose obligation it shall be to manage the common elements and facilities. The association shall be formed on or before the filing of the master deed or declaration of covenants and restrictions, and may be formed as a for-profit or nonprofit corporation, unincorporated association, or any other form permitted by law. The application of P.L.1993, c.30 (C.45:22A-43 et seq.) to the association of an existing planned real estate development shall not be limited by:
(1) whether the developer has been subject to, or exempted from, the registration requirements of section 6 of P.L.1977, c.419 (C.45:22A-26); or
(2) the development's date of establishment.
b. Nothing in subsection a. of this section shall be construed to require the registration of a planned real estate development that is not otherwise required to register pursuant to section 6 of P.L.1977, c.419 (C.45:22A-26).
c. Membership in the association of a planned real estate development shall be comprised of each owner within the planned real estate development, and may include the developer if the development contains unsold lots, parcels, units, or interests. An association may permit tenant participation in executive board elections, tenant membership in the association, or both. A voting-eligible tenant shall have only the same voting rights as the owner of the unit that the tenant leases, and such voting rights shall be in place of and not in addition to the rights of the owner of the leased unit, except as permitted under paragraph (9) of subsection c. of section 6 of P.L.2017, c.106 (C.45:22A-45.2). Pursuant to paragraph (9) of subsection c. of section 6 of P.L.2017, c.106 (C.45:22A-45.2), the votes associated with a unit shall not be altered by the participation of voting-eligible tenants.

45:22A-45.3 Findings, declarations relative to association assessment in planned real estate developments.
1. The Legislature finds and declares that:
a. Certain associations have interpreted that the provisions of P.L.2017, c.106 (C.45:22A-45.1 et al.), enacted on July 13, 2017, may impose new responsibilities on certain property owners to pay assessments and other charges to their associations; and
b. It is necessary and in the public interest for the Legislature to clarify that P.L.2017, c.106 (C.45:22A-45.1 et al.) did not impose new responsibilities on property owners to pay assessments and other charges.
L.2020, c.100, s.1.
2023 New Jersey Revised Statutes › Title 45 - Professions and Occupations › Section 45:22A-45.4 - Certain assessments prohibited.

45:22A-45.4 Certain assessments prohibited.
2. a. An association in a community established prior to the effective date of the "Planned Real Estate Development Full Disclosure Act," ("PREDFDA"), P.L.1977, c.419 (C.45:22A-21 et seq.), shall not be permitted to require property owners to pay assessments and other charges where the property owner's title record does not impose such an obligation, unless otherwise provided by law.
b. If, after July 13, 2017, an association has recorded a lien against an owner's property for non-payment that is based solely on the misinterpretation that P.L.2017, c.106 imposed new responsibilities on property owners to pay an association's assessments or other charges, pursuant to P.L.2020, c.100 (C.45:22A-45.3 et seq.), the lien shall be null and void. The association shall promptly discharge such lien of record and provide notice of this action to the property owner. If an association fails to discharge such null and void lien, the owner may bring an action to have the lien discharged and, if successful, shall be entitled to petition the court for an award of counsel fees.

2023 New Jersey Revised Statutes › Title 45 - Professions and Occupations › Section 45:22A-46.1 - Findings, declarations relative to age-restricted communities.

45:22A-46.1 Findings, declarations relative to age-restricted communities.
1. The Legislature finds and declares:
a. Age-restricted communities are one of the fastest growing types of developments in the nation and in the State;
b. Age-restrictions violate federal laws against discrimination in housing, unless certain exceptions are met for age-restricted communities as authorized by federal law;
c. Homeowners' associations which manage the property in age-restricted communities currently have no methods by which to ensure that the exceptions to federal anti-discrimination provisions will be maintained upon the resales of units in such communities; and
d. It is necessary and in the public interest for the Legislature to create a method of ensuring compliance by age-restricted communities with federal law.
L.2008, c.71, s.1.
2023 New Jersey Revised Statutes › Title 45 - Professions and Occupations › Section 45:22A-46.2 - Resale, transfer of dwelling unit, certification of compliance with rules of age-restricted community.

45:22A-46.2 Resale, transfer of dwelling unit, certification of compliance with rules of age-restricted community.
2. Notwithstanding any law or governing document to the contrary, the purchaser or grantee by operation of law of a dwelling unit in an age-restricted community shall be required to certify, prior to the resale or transfer by operation of law of a dwelling unit within the community, that the dwelling unit will be occupied by a person of an age that ensures compliance with the "housing for older persons" exception from the federal "Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988," Pub.L.100-430 (42 U.S.C. ss.3601 et seq.) for that community as set forth in section 100.301 of Title 24, Code of Federal Regulations. The certification shall be on such form as may be prescribed by the Commissioner of Community Affairs, but shall not exceed one page in length. A copy of the certification shall be provided to the purchaser for recording. For the purpose of P.L.2008, c.71 (C.45:22A-46.1 et al.), "resale" shall mean any sale of a dwelling unit within an age-restricted community, other than the initial sale of the unit made by the developer to a purchaser.

2023 New Jersey Revised Statutes › Title 45 - Professions and Occupations › Section 45:22A-46.3 - Findings, declarations relative to affordable housing.

45:22A-46.3 Findings, declarations relative to affordable housing.
1. The Legislature finds and declares that:
a. While the cost of housing in New Jersey has declined under currently eroding economic conditions, the cost of both renting and homeownership remains unaffordable to a large percentage of New Jersey residents, including those who make vital contributions to their communities such as teachers, nurses, police officers, firefighters, and the general workforce population;
b. In recognition of this crisis, Governor Jon S. Corzine has committed to producing and preserving 100,000 units of affordable housing for low-, moderate- and middle-income families and individuals over the next 10 years;
c. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, 55 percent of these families are one and two person households, many of which are unable to find homes and apartments designed to meet their needs;
d. While no policy is singularly responsible for current housing conditions, zoning practices have resulted in a lack of land approved for housing which meets the needs of households requiring smaller housing units;
e. The shortage of affordably priced workforce housing has been exacerbated in recent years by a municipal preference for age-restricted housing which has resulted in an oversupply of age-restricted housing approvals and an inability among the majority of New Jersey's workforce to live near their jobs;
f. (Deleted by amendment, P.L.2013, c.253.)
g. Although the maximum municipal percentage of affordable fair share housing which may be met by age-restricted units in a municipality has been reduced from 50 percent to 25 percent under the recently adopted rules of the Council on Affordable Housing, a mechanism is needed to permit an age-restricted development to change to a converted development to meet this rule, and to meet demographic needs; and
h. Under currently deteriorating national economic conditions, it is appropriate to take immediate action at this time to create the opportunity to increase the production and supply of workforce housing through the conversion of the over-supplied age-restricted market to meet the needs of New Jersey's residents who require smaller, more reasonably priced homes.
