in Rockleigh.

Rockleigh is one of Bergen County's least populated boroughs (2020 Decennial Census population 531; rental and ask-price data is commonly suppressed by ZHVI and Redfin Data Center due to small denominator). The borough has no local rent-control ordinance — rental terms default to the statewide unconscionability doctrine and N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1 et seq. Anti-Eviction Act protections. Lead-safe rental compliance follows visual inspection methodology on the standard three-year cycle (or earlier at tenant turnover) per N.J.S.A. 52:27D-437.16, as amended by P.L. 2024 c.74. K-8 students attend Northvale Public School by send-receive arrangement; grades 9-12 attend Northern Valley Regional at Old Tappan. The borough is in DCA Region 1 for the Mount Laurel Fourth Round and negotiated Prospective Need of 14 units via vacant-land adjustment, with 7 existing credits from the Third Round (Spectrum for Living group home, 1996 site option); HEFSP Part 1 filed 6/24/2025 [per njcourts.gov Rockleigh Fourth Round HEFSP]. Borough Clerk: 26 Rockleigh Rd. (07647). Landlord-tenant matters are heard by the Bergen Vicinage Special Civil Part at the Hackensack courthouse.

• 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.
