Protected tenancy status shall not be applicable to any eligible tenant until such time as the owner has filed his
conversion recording. The protected tenancy status shall automatically apply as soon as a tenant receives notice of
eligibility and the landlord files his conversion recording. The conversion recording shall not be filed until after the
registration of conversion.
L.1981, c. 226, s. 9, eff. July 27, 1981.

2A:18-61.31. Rent increase restrictions

In a municipality which does not have a rent control ordinance in effect, no evidence of increased costs which are
solely the result of the conversion, including but not limited to any increase in financing or carrying costs, and which do
not add services or amenities not previously provided shall be used as a basis to establish the reasonableness of a
rent increase under section 2f. of P.L. 1974, c. 49 (C. 2A:18-61.1).

In a municipality which has a rent control ordinance in effect, a rent increase for a tenant with a protected tenancy
status, or for any tenant to whom notice of termination pursuant to section 3g. of P.L. 1974, c. 49 (C. 2A:18-61.2) has
been given, shall not exceed the increase authorized by the ordinance for rent controlled units. Increased costs which
are solely the result of a conversion, including but not limited to any increase in financing or carrying costs, and which
do not add services or amenities not previously provided shall not be passed directly through to these tenants as
surcharges or pass-through on the rent, shall not be used as the basis for a rent increase, and shall not be used as a
basis for an increase in a fair return or hardship hearing before a municipal rent board or on any appeal from such
determination.
