FAQ
State law regulates several rent-related issues, including late fees, the amount of notice (at least 30 days in New Jersey) landlords must give tenants to raise the rent and how much time (30 days in New Jersey) a tenant has to pay overdue rent or move before a landlord can file for eviction.
Unlike the Landlord Registration Statement, a Certificate of Occupancy is not a requirement for evicting a tenant in New Jersey.In towns where certificates of occupancy are required, a dwelling rented without a certificate of occupancy constitutes an illegal contract.
A tenant has signed a lease or rental agreement with a landlord. A subtenant, on the other hand, is someone who subleases or rents all or part of the rental property from a tenant, and does not sign a lease or rental agreement with the landlord.
However, it's important to know that even without a lease your landlord is still required to give you a 30-day notice for ending your lease or for increasing your rent. If you refuse to pay the increase in your rent, the landlord has the right to legally begin the eviction process.

This breach of contract means that the landlord can take action to evict them from their home. Possession proceedings can be started quickly, but it's important to follow the correct legal process.
A Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) may be issued if the work is substantially complete, there are no outstanding health or safety issues and the building or space can be occupied safely. A TCO is issued for a defined period of time during which any remaining items are to be completed.
Once the certificate of occupancy is written and issued, it is good for 90 days.
A Certificate of Occupancy is the document which is given at the completion of the project. The Certificate of Occupancy, issued by the Construction Official, permits occupancy of a building or structure.
