NEW JERSEY APARTMENT ASSOCIATION STATEMENT ON

FEDERAL EVICTION MORATORIUM 

(MONROE TOWNSHIP, NJ) – The New Jersey Apartment Association (NJAA) released the following statement regarding the announcement by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) banning evictions through the end of the year.

The eviction moratorium issued by the CDC places the rest of the country on the same playing field as New Jersey.  It also highlights the need for federal rental assistance, which is something the NJAA has been advocating for since March.  At the end of the day, we are all in this together.  Both landlords and tenants need assistance.  The multifamily ecosystem which consists of tenants, landlords, employees, municipalities, and state governments plays a critical role in not only housing tens of millions of people, but it also plays a significant role in our nation’s economy.  NJAA urges the Congress to enact meaningful rental assistance now.

The New Jersey Apartment Association (NJAA) is the premier trade association representing all facets of the multifamily housing industry, including market rate and affordable housing owners, managers and developers, as well as suppliers. NJAA’s membership owns and manages over 220,000 apartments, providing quality housing to over one million New Jerseyans.
