in Wood-Ridge.

Wood-Ridge is a Bergen County borough on the NJ Transit Bergen County / Main Line corridor with 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-12 students attend Wood-Ridge Public Schools; the borough also receives Moonachie 9-12 students under a sending-receiving relationship [per Wood-Ridge sending-receiving register]. The Mount Laurel Fourth Round obligation is shaped by the redevelopment of the former Curtiss-Wright site (Wesmont Station), which drove significant inclusionary set-asides in prior rounds under DCA Region 1 (regional prospective need 27,743 units, binding 7/1/2025-6/30/2035 under P.L. 2024 c.2). 2020 Decennial Census population 9,128. Borough Hall: 85 Humboldt St. (07075). No standalone short-term-rental ordinance has been identified in the borough code. 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.
