in Saddle River.

Saddle River is a low-density Bergen borough (2020 Decennial Census population 3,191) with a two-acre minimum residential lot size preserving large-parcel zoning. 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-6 pupils attend Saddle River Public School; grades 7-12 send to Northern Highlands Regional in Allendale [per borough sending-receiving register]. DCA Region 1 Mount Laurel Fourth Round applies (Region 1 regional prospective need 27,743 units, binding 7/1/2025-6/30/2035 under P.L. 2024 c.2). Borough Hall: 100 E. Allendale Rd. (07458). No standalone short-term-rental ordinance identified. Landlord-tenant matters: Bergen Vicinage Special Civil Part, Hackensack. The median single-family value of approximately $1.69 million reflects two-acre-minimum zoning and historic horse-country character; the 1.03 general tax rate is one of Bergen's lowest, a function of low residential density and the absence of significant commercial ratables. The Saddle River Park system along the namesake watercourse provides passive recreation; the borough hosts annual equestrian events along East Allendale Road. NJ Transit bus service via the Route 17 corridor connects to the Garden State Parkway exit 165 commuter ramp; driving distance to the George Washington Bridge runs approximately 18 miles south.

Note: Saddle River has a small population (3,191 per 2020 Census). Median asking rent and median ask price figures are commonly suppressed by Zillow ZHVI and Redfin Data Center due to small sample size — we display county-aggregate context rather than fabricate a per-town number.

• 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.
