2A:42-110. Removal of continuing nuisance
Nothing in this act shall limit the legal rights and remedies of a landlord under the lease or the
master deed and bylaws, as the case may be, to remove a domesticated animal that constitutes a
continuing nuisance to the welfare or property of either the landlord or the other residents of a
senior citizen housing project, nor shall it limit the legal rights and remedies of that landlord or
other residents.
In any action to remove a domesticated animal or to evict a senior citizen from a senior citizen
housing project for violating a lease due to the presence of a domesticated animal that is alleged
to be a continuing nuisance, the plaintiff shall have the burden of proving that the domesticated
animal is a continuing nuisance.

a. A landlord shall have the right to promulgate reasonable written rules and regulations, in
accordance with the provisions of this act, relating to the care and maintenance of domesticated
animals by senior citizens, except that a landlord may not require that the domesticated animal be
spayed or neutered. All such rules and regulations shall be transmitted, in writing, to the
residents of each dwelling unit in the senior citizen housing project and shall be incorporated
within each lease upon its subsequent renewal and the master deed and bylaws, as the case may
be.
