N.J. Stat. Ann. § 2A:18-51 et seq. § 2A:18-61.48
Requirements for registration of conversion for building, structure
Operative Text
9. In addition to the limitations set forth in section 4 of P.L.2020, c.40 (C.2A:18-61.48a), a registration of conversion for a building or structure located in a qualified county shall not be approved until the department receives proof that the provisions of section 8 of P.L.1991, c.509 (C.2A:18-61.47) have been complied with, and that notification as required in section 8 of P.L.1991, c.509 (C.2A:18A-61.47) has been made to all tenants who filed application for protected tenancy status on or before the application deadline prescribed in the notice given pursuant to section 7 of P.L.1991, c.509 (C.2A:18-61.46). The proof shall be by affidavit or in such form as the department may require. L.1991, c.509, s.9; amended 2020, c.40, s.3.
Under N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.48, a conversion registration for a residential building in a qualified county cannot receive departmental approval unless the owner has demonstrated compliance with the tenant-notification requirements of the 1991 condominium conversion law. Specifically, the department must receive evidence that all tenants who applied for protected tenancy status by the applicable deadline were properly notified. This proof must be submitted by affidavit or in another form the department accepts.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators seeking to convert a building in a qualified New Jersey county under N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.48 are generally expected to document, before registration approval, that every required tenant notification was delivered and that all protected-tenancy applications received by the deadline were addressed. Compliant operators typically prepare and submit an affidavit—or another department-approved form—confirming that the steps outlined in C.2A:18-61.47 were followed. Maintaining organized records of tenant application deadlines, notices sent, and responses received supports the documentation process.

N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.48 establishes that tenants who filed for protected tenancy status on or before the prescribed deadline must receive the required notifications before a conversion registration can be approved. If a tenant believes they were not properly notified or that their protected-tenancy application was overlooked, that gap in compliance could be relevant to whether the conversion registration was lawfully granted. Tenants in this situation may consider contacting the relevant state department, a local tenant-rights organization, or a legal aid office to understand what options may be available.
