NCLA Asks NJ Appellate Court to Halt Governor’s Unlawful Interference with Rental Contracts
Chuck Kravitz, et al. v. Philip D. Murphy, et al.
Washington, D.C., April 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) The New Civil Liberties Alliance, a nonpartisan, nonprofit civil rights group, filed its opening brief today in Kravitz v. Murphy in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division. The lawsuit challenges Governor Murphy’s Executive Order No. 128 (EO 128), an unconstitutional mandate that unilaterally forces residential housing providers to use their tenants’ security deposits toward rent payments and criminalizes adherence to existing contracts. The order undermines property rights by suspending existing laws governing residential leasehold contracts and depriving property owners of security against property damage caused by tenants.
