Standard Lease Term: Most leases in New Jersey are typically for one year (12 months). However, it's also common to see leases for six months, two years, or even month-to-month leases, depending on the landlord's preferences. Security Deposit: Landlords usually require a security deposit equal to one to two months' rent. New Jersey law allows a maximum of 1.5 months' rent for a security deposit. Rent Payment Schedule: Rent is typically due monthly and payments are often made at the beginning of the month. Utilities: In many cases, the tenant is responsible for paying utilities (water, gas, electricity), but sometimes landlords cover certain utilities, like water or trash removal. This should be clarified in the lease. Late Fees: Late fees are common if the rent is not paid on time. New Jersey law does not set a specific maximum for late fees, but the fee must be reasonable and specified in the lease. Pet Policy: Pet policies vary by landlord. Some allow pets with an additional pet deposit, while others may prohibit them entirely. Termination and Renewal: If a tenant wants to terminate a lease early, they may be required to pay an early termination fee or provide a certain amount of notice (usually 30 to 60 days). Lease renewal terms can vary, with the option to renew being dependent on the landlord's preferences. Rent Control: Some cities in New Jersey (e.g., Jersey City, Newark) have rent control laws that limit how much rent can increase each year. Be sure to check local laws if you're renting in those areas.
