New Jersey lawmakers are attempting to keep landlords from automatically disqualifying potential tenants who have criminal histories. Instead, bills under consideration encourage landlords to assess each applicant as an individual, taking into account factors such as severity of a crime and the amount of time since it occurred.
New Jersey’s Fair Chance in Housing Act would prohibit landlords from asking about a potential tenant’s criminal history before offering conditional acceptance. Exceptions include applicants who are on sex-offender registries for life. [NOTE: Florida registrants are on “for life”]
As I started reading the article, I eventually was skimming through it. I was looking for some kind of mention of “homelessness”. But I didn’t see any such thing. What I did see was the mention of “recidivism”.
A first work country that loves to boast about is Christian values is more concerned about recidivism than homelessness.
Someone should probably remind anyone of BOTH political parties who claim to be Christian or Catholic that their savior hung out with 12 degenerate HOMELESS men AND a prostitute.
I’m sick of the hypocrisy from both political parties.
It’s enough already.
Anyone who watched the sham impeachment trail of Donald Trump CANNOT deny that the attorneys representing him were A-MAZING! I forgot their names but that one attorney who showed all those clips of Democrats using the term “fight like hell” eventually turned and looked at the democrat senators and said “Can we stop with the hypocrisy already?”
That’s the kind of language an attorney needs to use when fighting these damn registry laws.
Go ahead, tell me I’m wrong. Whatever.
Dang phone typos!! A “first WORLD” country. If FAC could correct that before posting it would be appreciated.
No need to ask, Registry has all the info anyhoo.
I wouldn’t want to live in New Jersey anyway.
What about those that Would like to live there for whatever reason. Or those that have to for maybe family obligations.
Second class citizens. Hit list after sentence has been 100% completed. Huge Scarlet letter. It’s actually fkn funny.
