New Jersey Rent control / stabilization
Does New Jersey have rent control?
Rent control is local: municipalities may adopt rent control or rent leveling ordinances. New Jersey has no statewide rent control law. Newly built multiple dwellings can be exempt for up to 30 years (N.J.S.A. 2A:42-84.2, 2A:42-84.5). Check the local rent board or municipal clerk.
