NJ rent control guides

Plain-language explainers on the statewide rules that apply everywhere in New Jersey, and how they interact with the roughly 100 local rent-control ordinances this site tracks. For a specific municipality's cap and notice rules, go straight to the town list.

• How a valid New Jersey rent increase notice works — The terminate-and-reoffer structure, the one-month minimum, what must be in it, and how it has to be delivered.
• How much can a landlord raise the rent in New Jersey? — There's no statewide cap. See what actually limits an increase in your town, and how courts treat increases where there's no rent control at all.
• New Jersey rent control exemptions: what's not covered — Owner-occupied small buildings, new construction, and the other carve-outs that show up again and again in local ordinances — with counts pulled from this site's town data.
