Teaneck requires landlords to register rental units annually with the Township, pay registration fees, and pass periodic housing inspections under the NJ Hotel and Multiple Dwelling Law where applicable.
Teaneck's rental registration ordinance requires owners of rental dwellings to file annual registration statements identifying the property, owner, agent, and unit details, consistent with N.J.S.A. 46:8-28. Multiple dwellings of 3+ units fall under the NJ Bureau of Housing Inspection's 5-year cycle inspections. Smaller rental properties undergo Township certificate of occupancy inspections at change of tenancy. Fees are set by Township resolution. Failure to register bars certain eviction actions.
Unregistered rentals face fines up to $500 per violation and may be barred from filing eviction complaints under N.J.S.A. 46:8-33 until registration is current.
