Phil Murphy’s use of an executive order to allow tenants hit by the COVID-19 pandemic to use their security deposits to help pay rent. The appellate judges rejected an appeal by five landlords and three businesses who argued that the order, issued last April, exceeded Murphy’s authority and violated their constitutional rights. The court determined that Murphy was authorized under state law to exercise emergency powers such as allowing security deposits to be used as rent in his efforts to protect public health during the pandemic. And it dismissed the claims that the order violated several amendments to the state Constitution.
