Franklin Tower One, L.L.C., as Successor in Interest to Sava Holding Corporation, Plaintiff-Appellant v. N.M…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that N.J.S.A. 2A:42-100 bars a landlord from refusing to accept a Section 8 voucher from an existing tenant and that the statute is not preempted by the federal Section 8 program. The decision rests on a plain‑meaning interpretation of the statute, its legislative history, and a finding that the state law advances the same goals as the federal program.
