New Jersey Lease renewal / non-renewal notice

Last reviewed 2026-10-23

Does a landlord have to give notice before not renewing a lease in New Jersey?

Under the Anti-Eviction Act, a landlord covered by the Act may not refuse to renew a written or oral lease without one of the statutory good causes, which must be proved in court. Owner-occupied buildings with 2 or fewer rental units are generally excluded.
