New Jersey Foreclosure tenant protections

What rights does a tenant have after foreclosure in New Jersey?

Yes. Foreclosure does not by itself end a tenancy covered by the Anti-Eviction Act. A foreclosing creditor or new owner may try to induce a tenant to leave only through a bona fide monetary offer; the tenant has five business days to accept or reject it, and an acceptance must be in writing (N.J.S.A. 2A:50-69 et seq., incl. 2A:50-71).
