 tenant has not been offered a reasonable opportunity to examine and rent comparable
housing. However, not more than a one-year stay shall be granted if the landlord allows
the tenant five months’ free rent as compensation for hardship in relocation. No action for
possession shall be brought against a senior citizen tenant or disabled tenant with protected
tenancy status pursuant to the “Senior Citizens and Disabled Protected Tenancy Act of
1992,” as long as the agency has not terminated the protected tenancy status or the protected
tenancy period has not expired. A Notice to Quit must be served on the tenant at least
three years before filing a suit for eviction. No legal action may be taken until the lease
expires (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1(k)).

L. Tenancy After Conversion to Condominium, Cooperative, or Fee Simple Ownership
1) The landlord may file for eviction, if the owner of a building or mobile home park, which
is constructed as or being converted to a condominium, cooperative or fee simple
ownership, seeks to evict a tenant or sublessee whose initial tenancy began after the master
deed, or agreement establishing the cooperative or subdivision plat was recorded, because
the owner has contracted to sell the unit to a buyer who seeks to personally occupy it and
the contract for sale calls for the unit to be vacant at the time of closing. However, no action
shall be brought against a tenant under paragraph one (1) of this subsection unless the
tenant was given a statement, informing the tenant that the property is being converted. A
Notice to Quit must be served on the tenant at least two months prior to filing suit for
eviction. No legal action may be taken until the lease expires.
