Woodbridge, NJ Rental Property Rules: Rent Increase Notice (2026)

2 requires any landlord seeking a rent increase in a unit covered by Chapter 20 to first notify the tenant by ordinary mail, with proof of mailing corroborated by an affidavit, of the calculations behind the allowable increase measured against the previous year's base rent. The notice must go out no later than sixty days before the date the increased rent is to take effect, and it has to detail three specific figures: the prior rent, the dollar amount of the increase, and the new base rent being sought.

2 requirement that sewer user fee surcharge notices include the underlying calculations. 2 together with § 20-13's certified rent roll filing (due every January 15) and § 20-17's certification of pass-along charges, Woodbridge's rent-control chapter builds a paper trail around every increase: a landlord who skips the sixty-day mailed notice, or omits the required figures, has not completed the increase procedure the chapter demands, regardless of whether the underlying increase amount was otherwise allowable under the base-rent formula.
