The notice required under section 2 of P.L.1999, c.340 (C2A:18-73) shall state as follows:
a. That the property is considered abandoned and must be removed from the premises or from the place of
safekeeping, if the landlord has stored the property as provided in section 4 of P.L.1999, c.340 (C.2A:18-
75), by a date as follows;
(i) for all property other than manufactured or mobile homes not less than 30 days after delivery
of the notice, all not less than 33 days after the date of mailing, whichever comes first, or
(ii) for property which consists solely of manufactured or mobile homes, not less than 75 days
after the delivery of the notice, or not less than 78 days after the date of mailing, whichever
comes first, or the property will be sold or otherwise disposed of; and
b. That if the abandoned property is not removed:
(i) The landlord may sell the property at a public or private sale; or
(ii) The landlord may destroy or otherwise dispose of the property if the landlord reasonable
determines that the value of the property is so low that cost of storage and conducting a public
sale would probably exceed the amount that would be realized from the sale; or
(iii) The landlord may sell items of value and destroy or otherwise dispose of the remaining
property.
c. That in the case of a residential tenant, if the tenant claims the property within the time provided in the
notice, the landlord must make the property available for removal by the tenant without payment by the
tenant of any unpaid rent.
