Landlord Registration

A Landlord Registration form is required by N.J.S.A. 46:8-27 for all one- and two- family rental properties. Failure to register as a landlord and obtain a Continued Certificate of Occupancy for rental properties leaves landlords “unprotected” by NJ Statutes concerning Landlord/Tenant Disputes, and it is in violation of Borough of Roseland ordinances. Any disagreements involving unregistered or rental properties that are not inspected may pose a legal challenge and liability to property owners.

There is NO FEE to file the Landlord Registration with the Code Enforcement Department.
