CAI-NJ Nov. 2019(w)

“There have been some rumors...that...the bill could lead to the end of our age-restricted 55 and over communities in New Jersey.” nor does this legislation do so. And the bill specifically authorizes an HOA to include leasing restrictions in its govern- ing documents. The bill passed in the Senate 34-2. The bill’s Senate sponsor, Troy Singleton, D-Burlington, has stated in his own letters to the editor that he would never have sponsored a bill that negatively impacts residents in New Jersey’s many common interest communities, particu- larly our senior citizens. Likewise, the New Jersey Chapter of Community Associations Institute (CAI‑NJ), the members of which manage and serve these communities, would never support a bill that would harm any of the nearly 1.5 million residents who live and work in the nearly 7,000 common interest communities in New Jersey. With more than 2,000 members dedicated to building better commu- nities, CAI-NJ develops and provides information, education and resources to volunteer association board mem- bers, community managers and other professionals who support the commu- nity association housing model. CAI’s mission is to inspire professional- ism, effective leadership and responsible citizenship — ideals reflected in home- owners associations and condominium communities that are preferred places to call home. CAI-NJ supports this bill and its laudable goals. We would not do so if it would do the harm that these false rumors say it would. n
