N.J. Stat. Ann. § 55:13A-1 et seq. § 55:13A-7.6
Applicable provisions
Operative Text
Except as otherwise set forth in sections 2, 3 and 4 of P.L. 1987, c. 270 (C. 55:13A-12.1, 55:13A-13.2, 55:13A-7.5), all provisions of P.L. 1967, c. 76 (C. 55:13A-1 et seq.), as amended and supplemented, and of the regulations pursuant thereto, shall be applicable to retreat lodging facilities in the same manner as to hotels. L. 1987, c. 270, s. 5.
Under N.J.S.A. 55:13A-7.6, retreat lodging facilities are subject to the same hotel-regulation requirements established by New Jersey's Hotel and Multiple Dwelling Law (N.J.S.A. 55:13A-1 et seq.), with only the narrow exceptions carved out in sections 2, 3, and 4 of P.L. 1987, c. 270. In effect, this provision closes a potential regulatory gap by treating retreat lodging facilities as hotels for nearly all purposes under that law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of retreat lodging facilities should understand that N.J.S.A. 55:13A-7.6 extends the full scope of New Jersey's Hotel and Multiple Dwelling Law (N.J.S.A. 55:13A-1 et seq.) to their properties, just as it applies to conventional hotels. Compliant operators generally ensure their facilities meet the same inspection, maintenance, and registration standards required of hotels, while accounting for the limited exceptions specified in P.L. 1987, c. 270, sections 2, 3, and 4.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Guests or residents of retreat lodging facilities benefit from the same statutory protections that N.J.S.A. 55:13A-7.6 extends to hotel occupants under N.J.S.A. 55:13A-1 et seq. If conditions at a retreat lodging facility appear to fall below the standards required by that law, individuals may consider contacting the New Jersey Bureau of Housing Inspection, which oversees enforcement, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for general information about available options.
