This form transcribes the information you enter onto a notice template — it does not give legal advice, does not pick your rent amount, and does not review your specific situation. Confirm your local rent control ordinance and consult a licensed New Jersey attorney if you have questions about your rights or obligations.

A rent increase generally requires terminating the current tenancy and offering a new one at the higher rent, with at least one full month's notice (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1(f)) — see the generated notice for details.

No indexed CPI figure is on file for Consumer Price Index for the region of the United States of which Washington Township, Gloucester County is a part (per §184-1) — enter the % you're relying on. This ordinance measures CPI over: Percentage difference between the CPI 120 days prior to the date of application for the increase and the CPI at the date the prior lease was entered into, whichever is less. It will be printed on the notice exactly as entered.

For a fixed-term lease, the effective date above must match this date — a rent increase can't take effect mid-lease.

If owner-occupied with 2 or fewer rental units, different notice rules than the standard Anti-Eviction Act mechanics may apply (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1).

The 30-year exemption (N.J.S.A. 2A:42-84.2) is not automatic — it requires a timely filing with the municipal construction official (N.J.S.A. 2A:42-84.4).
