In NJ effective 2020:  "Governor Murphy's executive order waives provisions of statutory law that prohibit the use of security deposits for rental payments, enabling tenants to instruct landlords to use their security deposits to offset rent or back rent."

It should be fully executed and signed by both you and the agent.
