- Notice to enter
- There is no New Jersey statute setting a notice period before a landlord enters.

- Late fees
- Senior citizen tenants whose rent is due on the first of the month get a 5-business-day grace period, and no late fee may be charged within it (N.J.S.A. 2A:42-6.1). Otherwise New Jersey has no general late-fee cap, and late fees depend on the lease. Verified Source: N.J.S.A. 2A:42-6.1 · last checked 2026-10-23 · Full New Jersey late fees page
