in Northvale.

Northvale anchors the northernmost band of Bergen along the Rockland County line, with Paris Avenue serving as the primary north-south spine. The municipality has no rent-leveling ordinance on the books [per DCA 2025 Rent Control Survey]; tenancy increases fall under the statewide unconscionability doctrine codified in N.J.S.A. 2A:42-74 et seq. Lead-paint inspection follows the visual methodology pursuant to N.J.S.A. 52:27D-437.16 and P.L. 2024 c.74. K-8 pupils attend Northvale Public Schools; 9-12 pupils send to the Northern Valley Regional secondary system based in adjacent Old Tappan. The 2020 federal count recorded 4,764 residents. Bergen Vicinage Special Civil Part in Hackensack handles landlord-tenant filings. The residential zoning code does not enumerate transient lodging as a permitted use, so any short-term rental operator should confirm with the Northvale Borough Clerk at 116 Paris Avenue before listing. ZIP 07647. NJ Transit bus and connecting rail to Midtown Manhattan typically runs about 62 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).
• 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.
