Rooming and Boarding House Evictions
The Regulations Governing Rooming and Boarding Houses, which are enforced by the
Bureau of Rooming and Boarding House Standards of the Department of Community Affairs,
require owners of rooming and boarding houses to follow the good causes and notice requirements
of the Eviction Law when evicting residents, except if otherwise ordered by the Bureau (N.J.A.C.
5:27-3.3(c)). There is a further requirement that the owner give at least three (3) working days’
notice to the County Welfare Board before starting the eviction action for any resident (N.J.A.C.
5:26-3.4(c)).

Any building having at least two (2) living units occupied by persons unrelated to each
other without private kitchens and bathrooms is a rooming or boarding house if it does not meet
one (1) of the exceptions in the Rooming and Boarding House Act (N.J.S.A. 55:13B-3). These

40
exceptions include hotels with more than 85 percent temporary occupancy by people with homes
elsewhere, school and college dormitories, buildings housing only college students and certain
residences for the disabled. For additional information concerning rooming and boarding houses,
contact the Bureau of Rooming and Boarding House Standards, Post Office Box 804, Trenton, NJ
08625-0804, (609) 633-6251 or (609) 984-1704.
