How to Use Landlord Identity Law as a Defense for Eviction 如何利用房東身分法作為驅逐訴訟的抗辯理由

Hardship Stay of Eviction: The Worst Named Law in Housing

利用房東身分法 (Landlord Identity Law) 是房客給房東施壓、要求房東負責的多種方法之一。房客每次出庭時,都可以對房東針對該房產的登記提出質疑。

根據新澤西州法律,房東必須為其用於居住用途的出租房產進行登記。這項登記要求確保房客能夠獲知聯繫房東(或其代理人)的途徑,以便在需要緊急維修或其他緊急情況時進行聯繫。此外,這也為房屋檢驗員提供了必要信息,使其能夠確定哪些房產需要檢查,並明確在進行檢查時應聯繫何人。

關於註冊證書 (Certificate of Registration)

房東在出租公寓或合租房(rooming house)中的房間時,必須提交一份註冊證明。

唯一豁免註冊的物業是屋主自住的雙戶住宅。出租給房客的單戶住宅以及屋主不居住的雙戶住宅,必須向市政府辦公室登記註冊。擁有三個或更多單元的物業,必須向位於翠登(Trenton)的新澤西州社區事務部(N.J. Department of Community Affairs)登記註冊。要求房東登記住宅出租單位的法律依據為 N.J.S.A. 46:8-27 及後續條款。

有時房東未替房產辦理登記。當房東未登記房產時,房客可以在法庭審理驅逐案件時,藉此作為驅逐案件 (eviction case) 的抗辯理由。這個抗辯會暫停驅逐案件,並給房東最多 90 天的時間來完成房產登記。在房東依法完成房產登記之前,法官不能對此案件做出任何判決。

對於擁有三個或更多單位的房產,房客應主張房東必須出示一份經驗證的註冊證書副本,因為如果註冊證書不符合法律規定,翠登(Trenton)的社區事務部可以拒絕此註冊證書。當房東收到註冊證書後,必須將其張貼在建築物的大廳內。

如果房東未能在 90 天內完成房產登記,房客應請求法院駁回該起驅逐訴訟。

這項法規對房客有什麼好處?

如果房客在審判開庭時付不出租金,並提出了房產未登記註冊的抗辯,房客或許可以利用延期審判的期間來籌措租金。建議房客如果需要知道自己所在的房產是否已經完成登記,可以聯繫當地城市的市政廳 (City Hall) 辦公室。
