I am indebted to Peter H. Lederman for this title; the concept is the same as his commentary published in the New Jersey Law Journal on April 10, relating to addressing inconsistencies in Title 39 (223 N.J.L.J. 1099). That article referred to the proposal by the New Jersey Law Revision Commission that intended to replace the existing motor vehicle statutes. The legislature apparently never considered that recommendation by the Law Revision Commission.
The same fate has apparently befallen the detailed recommendations of that Commission’s report dated Feb. 10, 2012 (after a three-year study), relating to landlord/tenant laws. That report noted that:
The revision of laws governing landlords and tenants is long overdue. The compilation of these statutes, some of which date back to the 18th century, has not evolved in a coherent manner. Landlord-tenant law is scattered over many titles of the statutes. … The interaction of the Anti-Eviction Act and the Summary Dispossess Act is often confusing and ambiguous.
