How much can you raise rent in one year in New Jersey?

If there is a local rent leveling ordinance then that would control.  Usually though, if it is a single family house and sometimes up to 4-family, it would not fall under rent controls.  Then the landlord could raise the rent to whatever he wants.  It could be $500 one day and $2500 the next.\n\nI used to have apartment buildings in Jersey City and the rent leveling ordinance helped me to raise the rent if anything did. Sometimes I raised my rent every six months or sooner.

Only in your previous question asking for someone to invest $250k in the "upscale Bergen County Community".  I'm all ears!  What is Equity Sharing for purchasing a home?  Do you know?

unless there is a clause in the contract then you can legally do it by any amount you want but you dont want to scare your tenants away or make it unaffordable for them to be there. \n\nI would recommend between 10-15% however talk to your tennents first and make sure that this is within their budget. \n\nHave a look at www.rightmove.co.uk at similar properties and their rental value at present also look in talking to letting agents and see what they would advise.\n\nIt is much easier to keep a nice tennent in the property so dont be too harsh. Once the increase is in place present them with the new agreement and advise that this is due to inflation etc and write them a personlised letter with a break down of your reaserch etc, this will mean they are less likely to run a mile!

First check your lease, if it states that the Landlord can raise the rent at anytime, then unfortunately yes, but they always have to notify you, and give you time to move if you do not wish to pay, but if they just fixed or upgraded something and trying to raise the rent in the middle of your lease, they are supposed to wait until your lease is up, but check your agreement.

Well this might rank up as one of your lowest.  Though it counts because we do live here, we will be moving soon so I bet we will pay more soon enough.\n\nWe live in Maine, the rent for a 2- bedroom one bathroom apartment here is $445/ month.

You need to find out if the township code addresses this.\n\nI looked here in Chapter 114 of the Woodbury NJ Municipal Code Landlord/Tenant Licensing and it didn't seem to address your specific situation.  It deals mostly with landlord licensing and registration.  You would really need to call up the town and ask.  \n\nhttp://www.e-codes.generalcode.com/codebook_frameset.asp?t=gsr&index=0578_A&request=occupancy&fuzzy=&fuzziness=4&stemming=&phonic=&natlang=&maxfiles=999\n\nI know in my NJ town you wouldn't be in any trouble for having two extra people in a 3 bedroom house as long as it met the sq. foot per person occupancy standards, but you would have to file the landlord registration papers and pay the fee.

Nope.\n\nYou may be able to get a tiny share with someone really far out in Queens for $500 plus utilities.\n\nThere is no way you could live in NYC on $6,000 for a year.  \n\nBack in the late 1970's when I was a student, I literally starved in NYC on $10,000 a year and that was almost 30 years ago.

You mean your retired and living on a government check?\n\nIf your living in private housing... They can raise the rent all they want.  Unless your local has rent control laws. \n\nIts called business.

You would have to check with your county to find the answer. I know in NJ, we bid for interest. You must pay the taxes for 2 years on the property, the owner (s) have that 2 years to pay up the back taxes plus the "interest" rate that you acquired through the bid on the property. If the owner doesn't come through in the 2 years, then you can start foreclosure proceedings. It's not an easy road here in NJ.

Adjust it for the rental conditions in your area. Don't look at the percentages.If you can easily get x dollars a month, then increase it to x dollars. Remember, this is a business.\n\nRegards

Since you went from part time to full time, you may have a little difficulty asking for an increase, but you can still do it.\n\nRemind your boss that you have been working there for a full year and you would like to request a cost of living increase. Do not recommend a percentage. I have always found when asking for an increase that if you leave it open you get more than you expected. If you provide an amount, you either get that amount or a reason for being given less.\n\nTake care and Good Luck,\nTroy

80,000 to 100,000 dollars a year average i believe, and it can get up in the 600,000 when you're real big
