New Jersey § 2a:18-61

§ 2a:18-61.

Within 30 days after receipt of an application for the protected tenancy status authorized

under the provisions of this act, the administrative agency shall make a determination

of qualification. It shall send written notice of qualification to each tenant who is a resident of

the qualified county and: a. applied on or before the date of registration of conversion by the department,

or within one year from the effective date of this act, whichever is later; and, b. has an annual household income that does not exceed the maximum amount permitted

for qualification, or is exempt from that income limitation by reason of age or disability;

and, c. has occupied the premises as his principal residence for at least 12 consecutive

months next preceding the date of application. The administrative agency shall likewise send a notice of denial, with reasons therefor,

to any tenant whom it determines not to be qualified. That notice shall inform the tenant of his right to remain in his dwelling unit

until the owner shall have complied with the requirements of P.L.1975, c. 311 ( C. 2A:18-61.7 et al.) and shall include an explanation of the meaning of “comparable housing” as

used in that act. The owner shall be notified of those tenants who are determined to be qualified

and unqualified. The administrative agency may require that the application include such documents

and information as may be necessary to establish that the tenant is qualified for

a protected tenancy status under the provisions of this act and shall require that

such documentation and information be submitted under oath. The commissioner may by regulation adopt uniform forms to used 1 in applying for protected tenancy status, for notifying an applicant of qualification

or denial thereof, and conveying to a denied applicant the information concerning

his rights to continued tenancy and offer of comparable housing; he may also adopt

such other regulations for the procedure of determining qualification as he deems

necessary or expedient to the proper effectuation of the provisions and purposes of

this act. 1
