in Park Ridge.

Park Ridge sits in the Pascack Valley with the Sony Electronics former campus and the Park Ridge train depot along Park Avenue. The borough has no municipal rent-leveling ordinance [per DCA 2025 Rent Control Survey], so increases are governed by general NJ unconscionability doctrine rather than a percentage cap. Lead-paint inspection follows the visual methodology pursuant to N.J.S.A. 52:27D-437.16 and P.L. 2024 c.74. The Park Ridge K-12 public school authority serves about 8,863 residents per the 2020 Census (9,032 by the redistricting count). NJ Transit Pascack Valley Line service runs to Hoboken Terminal with PATH transfer for Manhattan-bound riders, totaling roughly 60 minutes door-to-door. Landlord-tenant filings route through the Bergen Vicinage Special Civil Part in Hackensack. The municipal zoning code does not enumerate transient lodging as a permitted residential use, effectively functioning as a short-term rental restriction; operators should verify with the Borough Clerk at 53 Park Avenue before listing. ZIP 07656.

• 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.
