Cal. Civ. Code § 5:10-23.1
Registry and rate-posting
Operative Text
(a) Every hotel and multiple dwelling containing rooming units shall: 1. Maintain at all times a registry identifying the name of each occupant of each rooming unit, together with the principal residence address of each such occupant and the date upon which his occupancy of such rooming unit commenced, which registry shall be signed by the person renting the rooming unit. 2. Not have posted on any advertising sign, or placed before the public in any advertising matter or information pertaining to such hotel or multiple dwelling, any rates for accommodation in such hotel or multiple dwelling unless there are available therein, when vacant, accommodations for immediate occupancy at the advertised rate. 3. Have posted in a conspicuous place or manner in each rooming unit a statement of the range of rates charged by the hotel or multiple dwelling, including seasonal rates, and a legible printed copy of P.L. 1967, c.95 (N.J.S.A. 29:4-5 et seq.).
Under N.J.A.C. § 5:10-23.1, hotels and multiple dwellings with rooming units are subject to three distinct requirements regarding record-keeping and rate transparency. First, a registry must be kept at all times that captures each occupant's name, home address, and move-in date, and must be signed by the person renting the unit. Second, any publicly advertised rate must reflect accommodations that are actually available at that price when vacant. Third, each rooming unit must display a conspicuous statement of the full range of rates charged — including seasonal variations — along with a printed copy of the referenced New Jersey statute.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of hotels and multiple dwellings with rooming units should maintain a continuously updated registry as required by N.J.A.C. § 5:10-23.1, ensuring it captures each occupant's name, primary residence address, and occupancy start date, with the renter's signature. Compliant operators also audit any advertising materials to confirm that every posted rate corresponds to units that are genuinely available at that price. Inside each rooming unit, a clearly visible rate schedule covering all seasonal pricing — along with a legible copy of P.L. 1967, c.95 — should be posted and kept current.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
N.J.A.C. § 5:10-23.1 gives occupants of rooming units a right to see a posted rate schedule inside their unit, which should reflect the full range of charges including seasonal rates, alongside a printed copy of the applicable New Jersey law. If the rate you were charged does not match what was advertised or posted, this provision may be relevant to your situation. Tenants who believe these requirements are not being met can document the discrepancy, contact a local tenant-rights organization, or reach out to the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, which oversees hotel and multiple-dwelling standards under N.J.A.C. § 5:10.
