Operative Text
25. The commissioner is authorized to adopt, in accordance with the provisions of the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.), such rules and regulations as may be necessary to implement the provisions of this act, including but not limited to, the prescribing of administrative and notification procedures which integrate the procedural requirements of this act with those of P.L.1981, c.226 (C.2A:18-61.22 et al.) in order to facilitate the efficient administration of both acts. L.1991,c.509,s.25.
Under N.J.S.A. 2A:18-51 et seq. § 2A:18-61.59, the New Jersey Commissioner is granted authority to adopt administrative rules and regulations—following the state's Administrative Procedure Act—needed to carry out this law. Those rules may include procedures that coordinate the notice and administrative requirements of this act with those of the related 1981 eviction law (P.L.1981, c.226). The provision is essentially an enabling clause that allows the regulatory framework to be built out over time through formal rulemaking.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under New Jersey's residential eviction framework should be aware that N.J.S.A. 2A:18-51 et seq. § 2A:18-61.59 empowers the Commissioner to issue binding administrative rules that flesh out procedural requirements. Compliant operators generally monitor the New Jersey Register for any rules adopted under this authority, since those regulations can affect notice timelines and administrative steps that must be followed. Staying current with any rules issued under this provision helps ensure that day-to-day management practices remain aligned with both this act and the related 1981 statute.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
N.J.S.A. 2A:18-51 et seq. § 2A:18-61.59 gives the Commissioner the power to create regulations that govern how this law is administered, including how notices and procedures are coordinated with New Jersey's broader eviction statute. Tenants may find that specific procedural rights—such as notice requirements—are shaped not only by the statute itself but also by regulations adopted under this provision. Tenants who believe a landlord has failed to follow required procedures can explore options such as raising procedural defects as a defense in court or contacting a local tenant-rights organization for general information about applicable rules.
