Administrative Agent or Agency
The governing body of the municipality may authorize a municipal board, agency or officer to
act as its administrative agency to administer the Protected Tenancy Acts or may enter into a
contractual agreement with a county office on aging or similar agency to act as its administrative
agency. If there has been no authorization or agreement the Protected Tenancy Acts shall be
administered by the municipal Rent Leveling Board or Rent Control Board. If the municipality
does not have such a board, the municipal clerk must administer the acts. (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-
61.26)
Senior and Disabled Protected Tenancy
Prior to filing the application for registration of conversion with the Planned Real Estate
Development Office, the owner must notify the administrative agent of his intent to file for an
application for registration of a condominium conversion. (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.27) In addition
the owner must supply the administrative agent with a list of every tenant residing in the
premises along with stamped envelopes addressed to each tenant, and sufficient copies of the
notice (Forms T-2 and/or T-3) tenants and application forms for protected tenancy status.

Within 10 days thereafter the administrative agent shall notify each residential tenant in writing
of the owner’s intention to convert and evict, and the applicability of the Senior and Disabled
Protected Tenancy Act. Within two business days of mailing these notices the administrative
agent must provide the owner with an affidavit or certification of mailing. (N.J.A.C. 5:24-
2.10(b))
