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.
