A proposed ordinance would make renting housing to illegal immigrants in Keyport a crime, punishable by hefty fines to landlords.
On Oct. 3, Keyport Councilman Joseph Wedick proposed an ordinance that would be aimed at controlling overcrowded housing in the borough. He said the law might be introduced Oct. 17.
"Leasing or renting within Keyport to anyone who is here illegally, I'd like to curtail that," Wedick said. If enacted, the aggressive plan of action would be used "to get an idea of the impact on neighborhoods," Wedick said.
How would the new law be enforced?
"At the time of the issuance of the [certificate of occupancy], the person who is being leased to or rented to would have to provide documentation they are here legally," Wedick said.
