Plain English

Under N.J.S.A. 46:8-1 et seq. § 46:8-30, any information that must be disclosed under sections 2 and 3 of the same act must also include the date on which that information was prepared. This dating requirement ensures that the disclosed information can be evaluated in the context of when it was compiled. The rule applies to the documents themselves, not to any particular party's conduct beyond the act of preparation.

For Property Managers

Operators subject to N.J.S.A. 46:8-1 et seq. § 46:8-30 generally ensure that every disclosure document prepared under sections 2 and 3 of the act is clearly marked with the date it was prepared. Maintaining accurate preparation dates on these documents supports a clear record of when the information was current. Keeping organized files that reflect those dates is a common practice among compliant property managers.

For Tenants

N.J.S.A. 46:8-1 et seq. § 46:8-30 entitles tenants to receive disclosure documents that include the date on which the required information was prepared. If a disclosure document is missing this date, that omission may be relevant to understanding whether the information provided was timely and accurate. Tenants who believe required disclosures are incomplete may consider consulting a tenant-rights organization or reviewing available complaint processes under New Jersey law.
