A tenant seeking protected tenancy status must file a completed application form with the
administrative agency within 60 days of receipt of the notice and application form from the
administrative agency. However, a completed application form may be submitted at any time
prior to the conversion recording if the administrative agent is satisfied that there was a
reasonable cause for the delay in filing the application. (N.J.A.C. 5:24-2.3)

Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.28, within 30 days after receipt of an application for protected
tenancy status by a tenant, the administrative agent shall make a determination of eligibility and
send written notice of the determination of eligibility or ineligibility to the tenant. Within two
business days of having mailed all notices of determination of eligibility to all applicants who
filed during the 60 day period.

Please note that the administrative agency making the determinations for protected
tenancy status is responsible for maintaining the protected tenancy determinations on
record for 40 years or the length of the protected tenancy status which ever is longer.

Administrative Hearings (N.J.A.C. 5:24-2.7)
Administrative agents must advise all applicants for protected tenancy status of their right to a
hearing to aggrieve any agency determinations and the requirements for filing for such a hearing.
Any person aggrieved by any determination of an administrative agency shall be entitled to an
administrative hearing before the agency or agent. Application for an administrative hearing
shall be made within 10 days of receipt of the determination. Administrative hearings shall be
held within 10 days of application, except in extenuating circumstances. Any notice of
administrative hearings shall be given to all interested parties.
