Middlesex County — lead-safe rental certification under P.L.2021, c.182, as amended by P.L.2024, c.74.
Owner/landlord/agent of every single-family, two-family and multiple dwelling rental unit must obtain lead-based paint inspection at turnover; certifications valid 2 years per Borough source (may reflect pre-2024-amendment info; verify against current 3-year state standard); $20/unit state fee separate from local fees
Statewide 3-year certification rule applies here too
Regardless of Metuchen Borough's specific process above, the certificate itself is valid three years statewide (P.L.2024, c.74) — not the two years some older DCA guidance still states. See the lead-safe hub for the full statewide timeline, deadlines, and landlord checklist.
