How come all barber shops have to have a sign that says “Chair and booth rentals are illegal?”

Question

I can’t seem to think of a reason why this sign is required by all barber shops. Like do people really want to rent a barber shop booth?

This is 100% a New Jersey only thing, and yes it’s banning the practice of renting out/charging rent for seats in a barbershop. That sort of arrangement is actually common elsewhere, but illegal in Jersey. Yes, another weird Jersey rule like no pumping your own gas.
