The Senate voted 19-13 on a bill to give landlords more power to evict tenants for criminal activity.
It would also give the owners of historic properties more opportunities to block such designations.
The Republican bill has already passed the Assembly.
It would allow landlords to evict a tenant if that person, a member of the tenant's household, a guest or any other person invited to their home engages in any criminal activity, regardless of whether anyone was arrested or convicted. Tenants would get five days to vacate the premises. Tenants who are the victims of the criminal activity could not be evicted.
