Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 46:8-4, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 46:8-4.
Whenever a lease shall be duly surrendered in order to secure a renewal thereof, a
new lease made and executed by the chief landlord, shall, without the surrender of
all or any of the under leases, be as good and valid, to all intents and purposes,
as if all of the under leases had been surrendered at or before the taking of the
renewal lease. Every person, in whom any estate for life or lives or for years shall, from time
to time, be vested by virtue of such renewal lease, and his executors and administrators,
shall be entitled to the rents, covenants and duties, and have like remedy for the
recovery thereof, and the underlessees shall hold and enjoy the premises comprised
in their under leases, as if the original lease, under and by virtue of which the
under leases exist, had not been surrendered. The chief landlord shall have and be entitled to the same remedy by distress or
entry upon the premises comprised in any such under lease, for the rents and duties
reserved by the renewal lease, to the extent that the same do not exceed the rents
and duties reserved in the original lease, as he would have had if the original lease
had not been surrendered, or as he would have had if the under leases had been renewed
under the renewal lease.
