Research summary (108 words)

Jersey City Ordinance 25-057 bars a landlord from subscribing to or paying for the services of a rent-coordination service provider, and separately bars a service provider from facilitating a non-compete agreement among landlords over rental pricing, fees, or other rental terms. The Municipal Council adopted the ordinance on 21 May 2025 and the Mayor approved it on 22 May 2025.

As a Faulkner Act Mayor-Council municipality, Jersey City's ordinances take effect no sooner than twenty days after final passage and mayoral approval absent a declared emergency, so this ordinance took effect on 11 June 2025. It carries a private right of action for anyone injured by a violation.

What this law does

It is unlawful for a real estate lessor, agent, or subcontractor renting a residential dwelling unit in Jersey City to subscribe to, contract with, or otherwise exchange anything of value for the services of a service provider that performs a coordinating function, defined as analyzing nonpublic competitor pricing, supply, or lease-term data from two or more landlords to recommend rental prices, lease terms, or occupancy levels.

Separately, no service provider may facilitate an agreement among landlords not to compete on rental pricing, fees, or other rental terms. Any person injured by a violation may bring a private civil action, and the Attorney General or a municipal or county attorney may also sue as parens patriae.
