2A:18-61.1e. Rights of former tenants

If a dwelling unit becomes vacated after notice has been given that the owner seeks to permanently board up or
demolish the premises or seeks to retire permanently the premises from residential use pursuant to paragraph (1) of
subsection g. or subsection h. of section 2 of P.L.1974, c.49 (C.2A:18-61.1) and if at any time thereafter an owner
instead seeks to return the premises to residential use, the owner shall provide the former tenant:
a. Written notice 90 days in advance of any return to residential use or any agreement for possession of the
unit by any other party, which notice discloses the owner's intention to return the unit to residential use and
all appropriate specifics;
b. The right to return to possession of the vacated unit or, if return is not available, the right to possession of
affordable housing relocation in accord with the standards and criteria set forth for comparable housing as
defined by section 4 of P.L.1975, c.311 (C.2A:18-61.7); and
c. In the case of a conversion, the right to a protected tenancy pursuant to the "Senior Citizens and Disabled
Protected Tenancy Act," P.L.1981, c.226 (C.2A:18-61.22 et seq.), or pursuant to the "Tenant Protection Act
of 1992," P.L.1991, c.509 (C.2A:18-61.40 et al.), if the former tenant would have at the time of the
conversion been eligible for a protected tenancy under either of those acts, had the former tenant not
vacated the premises.
