New Jersey Statutes
In New Jersey, landlord-tenant laws are primarily governed by Title 46 – Property, along with various statutes under the Anti-Eviction Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1 et seq.). These laws establish strong tenant protections, including just-cause eviction requirements, rent control in some areas, and maintenance standards. Security deposit rules and disclosure requirements are also clearly defined. Each section is outlined and linked below.
