New Jersey Listing Identifies Automated Tenant Screening as Bill A5495’s Subject

The measure identifies automated tenant-screening tools as a policy target, but the available record leaves its proposed rules, status, and practical effects unresolved.

AIGI EditorialNews Room analysis for AI governance leaders

Background

A5495 is a bill in the New Jersey State Legislature’s 2026–2027 session. The measure concerns the use of automated tenant-screening tools in evaluating prospective tenants, placing an automated decision system within a consequential housing-access workflow.

The available record is narrow. The official New Jersey Legislature listing identifies the bill, its session, and its subject: regulating the use of automated tenant-screening tools in evaluating prospective tenants. The record does not provide the bill’s provisions, sponsors, current status, introduction date, legislative history, or the obligations and rights it might create.

That boundary matters. The existence and subject of the proposal are established by the official A5495 bill-search record. Its practical meaning cannot yet be described with the same certainty.
