in Norwood.

Norwood lies in the Northern Valley basin abutting the New York state border along Broadway, with low-density single-family residential zoning dominating its 2.7 square miles. No municipal rent-leveling chapter has been adopted [per DCA 2025 Rent Control Survey]; the statewide N.J.S.A. 2A:42-74 unconscionability framework applies. The borough is among the plaintiffs in the Local Leaders for Responsible Planning coalition challenging the Mount Laurel Fourth Round methodology, with binding Round 4 resolution adopted before the January 28, 2025 deadline. Lead-paint inspection follows the visual methodology pursuant to N.J.S.A. 52:27D-437.16 and P.L. 2024 c.74. Norwood Public School serves K-8 pupils; 9-12 pupils send to the Northern Valley Regional secondary system at Old Tappan. The residential zoning code does not enumerate transient lodging as a permitted use. Bergen Vicinage Special Civil Part in Hackensack handles landlord-tenant filings. ZIP 07648, 2020 Census population 5,621. The combined bus-plus-rail commute via the GWB or NJ Transit reaches Midtown in 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.
