Wall rent control: repealed
Monmouth County — Chapter 153, Mobile Home Rent Stabilization (within Mobile Homes and Mobile Home Parks chapter). Full ordinance text ↗
Rent control repealed
Wall's rent control ordinance has been repealed. The Mobile Home Rent Stabilization ordinance (former Article II, adopted 1978) was repealed effective 4/28/2026 by Ord. No. 8-2026. The specific former cap formula and current administering authority could not be confirmed from the primary ordinance text retrieved (only the repeal/editor's note was accessible); the DCA survey describes a pre-repeal formula of increased utility/space/license-fee costs plus the lesser of 8% and the CPI-U (NY/NJ/CT/PA region) annual average, which no longer governs future increases per the current code.
Former Art. II, Rent Stabilization, adopted 11-8-1978 as Sec. 8-3 of the Revised General Ordinances, as amended, was repealed 4-28-2026 by Ord. No. 8-2026.Chapter 153, Mobile Home Rent Stabilization (within Mobile Homes and Mobile Home Parks chapter) — https://ecode360.com/9593572?highlight=control,rent&searchId=29097539442524144#9593572
- The Township repealed its mobile-home Rent Stabilization ordinance (former Article II) effective 4/28/2026 (Ord. No. 8-2026). A secondary, unverified web-search result (not the primary ordinance text) indicated the Township Committee also dissolved the Rent Stabilization Board via the same ordinance and that rent-increase review for mobile-home landlords may now be handled by the NJ DCA rather than the Township; this could not be confirmed from the ordinance text itself and should be independently verified.
- The DCA 2026 survey still lists the pre-repeal local formula (increased costs plus the lesser of 8% and regional CPI-U), which appears to predate or not yet reflect this repeal. All cap/notice/registration/surcharge/vacancy fields above reflect the repeal (null/none) rather than the DCA figure.
