in Moonachie.

Moonachie operates Bergen County's only mobile-home rent leveling regime, administered by the Mobile Home Park Rent Leveling Board under municipal code accessible via ecode360 [per DCA 2025 Rent Control Survey]. Increases on covered mobile-home lots are tied to the CPI for the NY-Northeast NJ region, with hardship and capital-improvement exceptions; conventional multi-family stock is not subject to local rent leveling. In April 2026 the borough adopted Ordinance 2026-4, doubling the trailer-camp annual license fee to $1,500 plus $3 per trailer per week and placing enforcement with the construction official. Lead-paint inspection follows the visual-methodology track under N.J.S.A. 52:27D-437.16 and P.L. 2024 c.74. The Meadowlands setting puts the borough next to Teterboro Airport and Routes 17 and 46. K-8 students attend Moonachie Public Schools; 9-12 students send to Wood-Ridge HS. Bergen Vicinage Special Civil Part in Hackensack handles landlord-tenant filings. NJ Transit bus to the Port Authority runs about 40 minutes.

• 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).
• Rent control — Moonachie limits annual rent increases. Contact the municipal clerk for the current formula.
• 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.
