Notice to All Municipal Clerks
&
Administrative Agents
Due to the recent surge in condominium conversions in New Jersey, the Department of
Community Affairs would like to take this opportunity to remind all municipal clerks and
administrative agents about their responsibilities under the Condominium Conversion, and
Senior and Disabled Protected Tenancy Laws of New Jersey. This correspondence is meant to
provide a general overview of what administrative agents need to know to properly administer
the Protected Tenancy Laws. It is not a complete narration of the laws. Please refer to the laws
and regulations concerning condominium conversions and protected tenancy for the entire text of
the laws.

Condominium Conversions
Prior to filing the application for registration of conversion with the Planned Real Estate
Development Office (PRED), the owner must notify the administrative agent of his intent to file
for the application. (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.27) After the landlord has registered with the PRED
office to convert a building to condominium units, the administrative agent should expect to
receive from the landlord a “notice of intent” and a “full plan of conversion.” (N.J.A.C. 5:24-
1.3) The owner/sponsor must also serve the tenants with the notice of intent and full plan of
conversion. The landlord is required to supply a copy of the New Jersey Administrative Code,
title 5, chapter 24, subchapter 1, to all tenants of the building being converted as a part of the
notice of intent to convert and full plan of conversion. (N.J.A.C. 5:24-1.11)
