In order to satisfy his obligation under this section, the landlord shall document at least two
separate comparable housing units which the tenant was offered a reasonable opportunity to
examine and rent, and shall include in any complaint filed for possession of the demised
premises the details of each such offer or a description of any attempt to secure comparable
housing units to offer to the tenant.

2A:18-61.16. Inability to provide tenant relocation; alternatives

If the landlord is unable to provide the tenant relocation into comparable rental housing
because of the housing shortage, he may as an alternative to relocation:

a. Pay the tenant an amount equal to 5 months' rent; or

b. Allow the tenant to remain in the unit for an additional 5 months beyond the notice period
during which time the payment of rent shall be waived. The landlord may utilize this alternative
only if he maintains the premises in substantially the same condition as they were prior to the
sending of the notice to deliver possession.
 If the landlord chooses to exercise either of these alternatives to relocation, he shall notify the
tenant in writing of the alternative that has been chosen at least 6 months prior to the institution
of an action for possession. In the event that the landlord chooses the alternative pursuant to
subsection a. of this section, payment to the tenant of the specified amount shall accompany the
notice.
L.1978, c. 139, s. 4. Amended by L.1981, c. 495, s. 2.

other agreement, without regard to any modification thereof by any authorized board or agency,
or any court.
