Cal. Civ. Code § 5:11-2.3
Evictions under N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1(g)
Operative Text
(a) Whenever an eviction is sought under the provisions of N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1(g) by an owner, whether said owner is a person, State Agency or unit of local government, the tenant shall be provided with the relocation payments and benefits as provided in subchapters 3 and 4 of this chapter. The date of eligibility shall be the date the tenant received a formal notice to vacate from the landlord as provided in N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.2 and the displacing agency shall be deemed to be the State Agency or unit of local government that issues the notice of violation. (b) The landlord shall provide the Department with the information required in subchapter 7 of this chapter. (c) In cases where a landlord is to be cited for a violation pursuant to an illegal occupancy which could potentially result in a (g)3 eviction, the following shall be included as an insert sent with the violation notice: IF, IN SEEKING TO CORRECT THE ILLEGAL OCCUPANCY FOR WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN CITED, IT IS NECESSARY FOR YOU TO EVICT ONE OR MORE TENANTS TO COMPLY, YOU MUST NOTIFY THOSE TENANTS OF THEIR POTENTIAL ELIGIBILITY FOR RELOCATION ASSISTANCE.
N.J.A.C. § 5:11-2.3 governs evictions pursued under N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1(g), which typically arise when a government agency cites a property for illegal occupancy and tenants must vacate as a result. Under this rule, displaced tenants become eligible for relocation payments and benefits starting from the date they receive a formal notice to vacate, with the responsible government agency treated as the displacing entity. Landlords facing such a citation are also required to notify tenants of their potential eligibility for relocation assistance and to provide relevant information to the Department.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under N.J.A.C. § 5:11-2.3, a landlord who receives a violation notice related to illegal occupancy that may lead to a subsection (g)3 eviction is required to include a specific insert with that notice informing affected tenants of their potential eligibility for relocation assistance. Compliant operators also submit the information required by subchapter 7 of N.J.A.C. § 5:11 to the Department in a timely manner. Keeping thorough records of all notices sent and information submitted to the Department is a practice commonly associated with compliance under this provision.

N.J.A.C. § 5:11-2.3 establishes that tenants displaced through an eviction under N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1(g) — such as one resulting from an illegal occupancy citation — are entitled to relocation payments and benefits as outlined in subchapters 3 and 4 of N.J.A.C. § 5:11, with eligibility beginning on the date a formal notice to vacate is received. Tenants who believe they have not been properly notified of these benefits, or that relocation assistance has been withheld, may consider filing a complaint with the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with New Jersey displacement law. Understanding the date the formal notice to vacate was received is significant under this provision, as it establishes the start of the eligibility period for relocation benefits.
