Attorney General's Memorandum

New Jersey property owners need to be aware of the federal and state laws against discrimination. The Attorney General's memorandum outlines the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination to ensure that equal housing opportunities are provided for all.

Section 11:5-6.4 (d) 3(j) requires that at the time of the taking of any listing of residential property, a licensee shall furnish to the owner a copy of a summary of the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination N.J.S.A. 10:5-1 et seq. (commonly known as the Attorney General's memorandum). The purpose of the memorandum is to help owners, as well as licensees, comply with the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination and federal laws that prohibit discrimination in the sale or rental of real estate.
