Rental & Landlord Registration
*** IMPORTANT: ATTENTION LANDLORDS***
The State of New Jersey enacted P.L. 2021, c.182 on July 22, 2022, requiring rental dwelling units constructed prior to January 1, 1978 to be inspected for lead-based paint hazards (unless otherwise exempt under the law).
Please carefully review these NEW requirements and resources at the bottom of the page.
The Rental & Landlord Registration Process is completed on an annual basis.
Property owners who previously submitted an application will receive the following year’s renewal registration application sometime in late fall annually.
