If the landlord intends to evict the tenants due to the conversion, he must serve them with a three
year notice to quit, 60 days after the notice of intent and full plan of conversion have been served
on the tenants. (N.J.A.C. 5:24-1.3) If it is a non-eviction, meaning the landlord does not intend
to evict the tenants based on the conversion, the landlord will not serve the tenants with a notice
to quit, nor will the tenants be eligible to apply for protected tenancy status.

Pre-Conversion tenants that have received a three year notice to quit have the right to request
comparable housing from their landlord. This form should be included in the packet sent to the
administrative agent from the landlord. The administrative agent must forward this to the
residence along with the other forms in the packet. However, the administrative agent is not
responsible for ensuring that comparable housing is offered. This matter would be addressed in
any ensuing eviction action. In addition, pre-conversion tenants that have received their three
year notice to quit shall receive a moving expense in the form of a waiver of one month’s rental
payment from the landlord. (N.J.A.C. 5:24-1.8) (Again this provision is enforced by the Court
not the administrative agent)
