New Jersey Rental Assistance & Eviction Protection Program

On August 4, 2021, Governor Murphy signed new legislation (Public Law 2021 c.188) protecting low- and moderate-income tenants from eviction for nonpayment of rent, repeated late payment of rent, and failure to pay rent increases during March 2020 through August 2021.

Tenants with incomes below 80% of the area median income remain protected from eviction for these causes through December 31, 2021 if a tenant can certify that he/she:

  • Owes rent from March 2020-present
  • Was impacted financially by the pandemic
  • Makes below 120 % of the area median income
  • Applied for rental arrears

Tenants must self-certify at the DCA website:  https://covid19.nj.gov/pages/renter

Tenants who self-certify and have an open eviction case, the case is automatically dismissed without prejudice.

Tenants who make less than 80% of AMI this applies to rent accrued through Dec. 31, 2021. Tenants with an AMI between 80% and 120%, it applies to rent accrued through Aug. 31, 2021.

Tenants who do not have an active eviction case should still complete the certification and provide a copy to their landlord.

Hudson County’s rental assistance program is still open and can be accessed in the link below.
