New Jersey
New Jersey: statutes read at the official source for people acting for themselves, each with its citation and the date it was read.
Acting for yourself
Read at the official source. The provision is cited below; its wording is not reproduced here because the reading recorded the section rather than its text.

Renting and landlord-tenant
No landlord-tenant provision has been read at New Jersey’s own code yet, so none is shown. An empty section here means nobody checked, never no law exists.
Court decisions from New Jersey
Marini v. Ireland
In a modern setting, the landlord should, in residential letting, be held to an implied covenant against latent defects, which is another manner of saying, habitability and livability fitness.
New Jersey's Supreme Court recognized an implied covenant of habitability and a tenant's ability to repair and deduct the cost from rent.
