Tenant shall be responsible for normal wear and tear

George Wang

My friend's landlord in NJ just added "Tenant shall be responsible for repairs caused by tenants including wear, tear, and everyday usage" to their lease renew, I am wondering

  1. Is this legal and will it hold up in court? 
  2. Are my friends screwed if they sign it?
  3. I know by law safety deposits are protected from wear and tear but can the landlord still send a bill to tenants or debt collectors?
  4. The lease is up 30 days and the landlord gave them 1 day to sign it. If they can't find a new place to live, can they hold over the property?
  5. if you have any additional advice to offer...

Thanks!
