Real Estate Development Full Disclosure Act,” (“PREDFDA”), P.L.1977, c. 419 ( C.45:22A-21 et seq. ), shall not be permitted to require property owners to pay assessments and other
charges where the property owner's title record does not impose such an obligation,
unless otherwise provided by law. b. If, after July 13, 2017, an association has recorded a lien against an owner's
property for non-payment that is based solely on the misinterpretation that P.L.2017, c. 106 imposed new responsibilities on property owners to pay an association's assessments
or other charges, pursuant to P.L.2020, c. 100 ( C.45:22A-45.3 et seq. ), the lien shall be null and void. The association shall promptly discharge such lien of record and provide notice
of this action to the property owner. If an association fails to discharge such null and void lien, the owner may bring
an action to have the lien discharged and, if successful, shall be entitled to petition
the court for an award of counsel fees.
