The maximum cost of living increase is 4% or the
Consumer Price Index (CPI-W) whichever is less. In
recent times the Cost of Living Increase has been less than
4%. The CPI-W is measured regionally and the one used
is for the New York, Northern New Jersey Area. The
statistics are published by the U.S. Department of Labor.
You may obtain the information by calling the Division of
Tenant/Landlord Relations at (201) 547-5127.
This Cost of Living Increase is allowed once every
twelve (12) months from the last anniversary increase.
Tenants who are given a rent increase above the permitted
amount may file a complaint with the Division of
Tenant/Landlord Relations, Rent Leveling Office, located
on the 4th floor at 30 Montgomery Street, Jersey City, New
Jersey. Office hours are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday. There is a two year statute of limitation on
any illegal rent increase, therefore tenants who dispute
their rents should file their challenge within the two year
period.
