Maybe the following advice will assist you...

The Landlord Identity Law, N.J.S.A. 46:8-27, et seq., requires landlords who rent property to tenants to file a Landlord Identity Registration Form or obtain a Certificate of Registration from the Bureau of Housing Inspection of the Department of Community Affairs. In addition to filing the information with the municipal clerk or the Bureau of Housing Inspection in the Department of Community Affairs, the landlord must supply this information to each tenant of the property.

The consequences for failing to register as a landlord, If not registered properly will expose landlord to liability for a fine of up to $500 per offense. The registration requirement can be enforced by the Attorney General, the municipality where the premises is located, or any other person in a summary proceeding. Consequently, a tenant could enforce this provision against a landlord if the tenant is not given the requisite disclosure.

N.J.A.C. 5:29 (2013) If the address of any record owner is not located in the county in which the dwelling is located, the name and address of a person who resides in the county and is authorized to accept notices from a tenant, to issue receipts for those notices and to accept service of process on behalf of the out-of-county record owner(s)

Cities and counties may also require registration.

Why would two people down vote a actual state law requirements for the landlord to follow? Are they foolish? Are they just ignorant? Are they just that uninformed and non caring that actual state law may be beneficial to New Jersey landlords who are not aware of such requirements.

Failure to register prevents a landlord from evicting. Why would someone down vote pertinent information? That's just stupid!
