in Alpine.

Alpine is a Borough atop the Hudson Palisades with no local rent-control ordinance — state-baseline rules apply. Alpine is one of only two Bergen municipalities (with Montvale) designated for the dust-wipe sampling methodology under the NJ DCA 2025-26 Lead-Based Paint Inspection Methodology List (N.J.S.A. 52:27D-437.16 + P.L. 2024 c.74; certificates valid 3 years or until turnover). Mt Laurel 4th Round obligations apply within DCA Region 1's 27,743-unit framework (P.L. 2024 c.2), with small numbers expected given residential land-use constraints per the DCA workbook. No standalone short-term rental ordinance identified. K-8 enrollment is in Alpine Public School with a Tenafly HS sending relationship (9-12). Landlord-tenant disputes route through the Bergen County Special Civil Part at the Bergen County Justice Center, Hackensack. Clerk: Alpine Borough Hall, Church St., (201) 784-2900. Palisades Interstate Park abuts the eastern Borough boundary; commute distance to the GW Bridge approximately 8 miles south.

Mount Laurel 4th Round (2025–2035)

Bergen County is in DCA Region 1 (regional prospective need = 27,743 units across the region). Obligations binding 7/1/2025–6/30/2035 per P.L.2024 c.2.

• Small numbers expected per residential land-use constraints; DCA workbook controls.
• Per-town RDP not yet publicly verified; see DCA Round 4 Calculation Workbook for binding number.

Note: Alpine has a small population (1,807 per 2020 Census). Median asking rent and median ask price figures are commonly suppressed by Zillow ZHVI and Redfin Data Center due to small sample size — we display county-aggregate context rather than fabricate a per-town number.

All 70 Bergen municipalities supported. NJ compliance baked in: Section 8 acceptance, FCHA two-phase screening, $50 application fee cap, lead-safe certification tracking.

• Security deposits are capped at 1.5× monthly rent under N.J.S.A. 46:8-21.2. Your landlord must hold the deposit in an NJ FDIC-insured account and pay annual interest (§46:8-19). Return within 30 days of move-out (§46:8-21.1) or face double damages.
• Fair Chance in Housing — landlords cannot ask about criminal history on the initial application. Background checks happen only after a conditional offer (N.J.S.A. 46:8-52 et seq.).
• Section 8 — your housing-choice voucher is a protected source of income. A landlord cannot decline an applicant because they intend to pay with Section 8 (NJLAD).
• Eviction — good cause required for all evictions under the NJ Anti-Eviction Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1). Lease expiration alone is not grounds.
