Under N.J.S.A. 10:5-1 et seq. § 10:5-24, any party to a hearing conducted under New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination may request that an official transcript of that hearing be produced. The cost of preparing the transcript falls on the party who requests it, not on the state or the opposing party. This rule applies equally to all parties involved in the proceeding.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners or managers who are respondents in a discrimination hearing under N.J.S.A. 10:5-1 et seq. § 10:5-24 generally have the option to obtain a verbatim record of the proceedings by requesting a transcript at their own expense. Operators who anticipate needing a detailed record of testimony or rulings for any subsequent review typically arrange for this request early in the process. Keeping a transcript can support accurate documentation of what occurred during the hearing.

As a party to a hearing under N.J.S.A. 10:5-1 et seq. § 10:5-24, a tenant or complainant has the right to request an official transcript of the proceedings, provided they cover the cost of its preparation. Having a written record of the hearing can be relevant when pursuing further review or appeal of a decision. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services can help explain how this right fits into the broader process under New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination.
