a tenant fails to give proper written notice or if notice of intent to terminate is not given in time,
the lease will renew automatically.
A yearly lease that is not renewed automatically becomes a month to month lease when the
current lease term ends. A month to month lease will renew automatically for another month unless
the landlord or tenant acts to terminate the lease. This rule applies to both oral and written leases
(N.J.S.A. 46:8-10).
When the lease term ends, the landlord can offer the tenant a new lease with amended terms
and conditions. In order to do this, the landlord must provide the tenant with written notice
terminating the existing lease and offering a new lease. The landlord’s notice must clearly detail
the changes made to the existing lease.
No landlord of residential rental properties except those in owner occupied two or three
family dwellings, motels or hotels, transient, or seasonal units may fail to renew any lease,
regardless of whether it is written or oral unless they have good cause not to renew the lease. The
good causes for eviction are detailed under the section entitled, “Eviction,” (N.J.S.A. 2A:18:61.3).
Tenants of two- or three- family owner occupied buildings should refer to the section entitled,
“Evictions for Owner-Occupied Two and Three Family Dwellings.”
Cable Installation
A landlord may not forbid or prevent installation of cable service or unreasonably restrict
the tenant from installing an individual satellite dish or require advance payment for permission to
install cable or satellite.
Installation must be in compliance with the Federal Communications (FCC) Regulations
(47 C.F.R. Section 1.4000). If a tenant or landlord wishes to file a complaint regarding the lease
or local government restrictions regarding installation
