A registry of rent-controlled tenants, filed every 1 December

A landlord of any dwelling that includes a covered rental unit must file a completed Registry of Rent-Controlled Tenants with the Rent Control Office on or before 1 December each year, and give a copy to every tenant listed on it.

This is where the covered class is written down, so the seller's past filings are the document that answers whether the ordinance binds a unit — ask for them in diligence rather than reconstructing tenancy dates from leases. It is in addition to the statewide landlord registration under N.J.S.A. 46:8-27, not instead of it. The ordinance states no fee for the filing.
