In a municipality which does not have a rent control ordinance in effect, no evidence
of increased costs which are solely the result of the conversion, including but not
limited to any increase in financing or carrying costs, and which do not add services
or amenities not previously provided shall be used as a basis to establish the reasonableness
of a rent increase under section 2f. of P.L.1974, c. 49 ( C. 2A:18-61.1 ). In a municipality which has a rent control ordinance in effect, a rent increase for
a tenant with a protected tenancy status, or for any tenant to whom notice of termination
pursuant to section 3g. of P.L.1974, c. 49 ( C. 2A:18-61.2 ) has been given, shall not exceed the increase authorized by the ordinance for rent
controlled units. Increased costs which are solely the result of a conversion, including but not limited
to any increase in financing or carrying costs, and which do not add services or amenities
not previously provided shall not be passed directly through to these tenants as surcharges or pass-throughs on the rent,
shall not be used as the basis for a rent increase, and shall not be used as a basis for an increase in a fair return or hardship hearing before a municipal
rent board or on any appeal from such determination.
