According to NJ's Truth in Renting:

​

The Law Against Discrimination as set forth in N.J.S.A. 10:5-29.2, prohibits discrimination against handicapped, blind, or deaf people in renting or leasing housing accommodations. A handicapped, blind, or deaf person who has a service or guide dog, or who obtains a service or guide dog, shall have full and equal access to all housing accommodations and shall not be required to pay extra compensation. Any lease or rental agreement prohibiting pets shall not apply to a service or guide dog owned by a handicapped, blind, or deaf tenant. The tenant is responsible for any damages done to the premises by the service or guide dog.

It's fine. You should always be aware of your surrondings but I've lived in the area for over 20 years and you are far, far likelier to be harmed by a loved one than a stranger. Use some common sense and you will be fine.

NJ Jersey courts are notoriously pro tenant. Offer a reasonable increase (5-7%) and stick to it. Make them take you to court. They won’t. They will cave rather than set precedent. Keep it quiet. They will Be more willing to acquiesce if it’s only you and not every tenant. The law is on your side.
