New Jersey is widely recognized as one of the most tenant-protective states in the nation. Unlike most states that allow no-cause evictions, NJ requires landlords to prove "good cause" to remove a tenant-even after a lease expires. Coupled with mandatory interest-bearing security deposit accounts, municipal-level rent control in approximately 117 municipalities, and a powerful implied warranty of habitability, managing rental properties in the Garden State demands meticulous legal compliance.
