MONTCLAIR, NJ—The implementation of rent control regulations in the Township of Montclair approved earlier this month is being contested in a five-count complaint filed in Essex County Superior Court.
On April 7, the Montclair Town Council voted 5-0 with two abstentions to approve rent control in the township. The new law limits annual rent increases to 4.25%. For apartments in which at least one tenant is 65 years of age or older, the maximum annual permissible rent increase is 2.5%.
