(a) In order to evict for conversion from the rental market to a condominium, cooperative
or fee simple ownership of two or more dwelling units or park sites at the end of the three
year notice period, or in order to evict for permanent retirement of a mobile home park
from the rental market and the end of the 18 month notice period, the landlord must prove
in court that the tenant or mobile home owner was offered comparable housing as
requested and as defined in N.J.A.C. 5:24-1.2 and reasonable opportunity to examine and
rent such housing, as described in N.J.A.C. 5:24-1.6(b).
(b) The court has authority under P.L.1975, c. 311, as amended, to authorize one-year
stays of eviction with reasonable rent increases until the court is satisfied that the tenant or
mobile home owner has been offered comparable housing and a reasonable opportunity to
examine and rent such housing.

(c) If, after at least one one-year stay has been authorized, the landlord provides the tenant
or mobile home owner with a "hardship relocation compensation," which shall consist of a
waiver of payment of five months' rent, and has demonstrated this to the court, then the
court cannot authorize any further stays. A warrant for possession could then issue at the
end of the one-year stay.

(d) If the landlord does not provide the relocation compensation of five months' rent and
fails, within one year of a prior stay, to allege to the court that the tenant was offered a
reasonable opportunity to examine and rent comparable housing, the court shall
automatically renew the one-year stay.
