in Hillsdale.

Hillsdale sits in the upper Pascack Valley along the Pascack Brook tributary system. Public education runs through Hillsdale K-8 schools (George G. White Middle is its central feeder) with the Pascack Valley Regional HS handling grades 9-12 (jointly serving Hillsdale, Montvale, River Vale, and Woodcliff Lake at Pascack Hills HS and Pascack Valley HS). Hillsdale was a named plaintiff in Local Leaders for Responsible Planning, the consolidated lawsuit challenging Round 4 affordable-housing allocations established by P.L. 2024 c.2 — the litigation defines Hillsdale's compliance posture relative to its DCA prospective-need number. Apartment rent is unregulated locally; the DCA 2025 Rent Control Survey has no Hillsdale entry. Statewide rules govern: 46:8-21.2 deposit ceiling (1.5x), the Anti-Eviction Act at 2A:18-61.1, and the screening-sequence rule under FCHA 46:8-52 et seq. (background-record disclosure permitted only after conditional offer). DCA's 2025-26 methodology designates Hillsdale for visual lead-paint inspection on the 3-year cycle per P.L. 2024 c.74. The 2024 general tax rate was 3.172. Pascack Valley Line rail from Hillsdale Station reaches Hoboken with PATH transfer in approximately 55 minutes [per njcourts.gov Local Leaders for Responsible Planning consolidated docket + DCA 2025 Methodology List].

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.
