On a $2,000,000 building, that ratio puts assessed value near $1,315,600, and the tax rate produces an estimated annual bill of about $48,782, roughly 2.44% of market value.

Landlord Rules
New Jersey caps a security deposit at 1.5 times one month's rent (NJSA 46:8-21.2) and requires its return, with interest, within 30 days of lease termination (NJSA 46:8-21.1). The Anti-Eviction Act (NJSA 2A:18-61.1) limits removal of residential tenants to listed good-cause grounds statewide. Hamilton Township abolished local rent control in 2002, though tenancies that began before September 1, 2002 in buildings with four or more units still fall under a CPI-based cap, 3.15% for the 2026-2027 cycle. Anyone ready to sell commercial real estate in Hamilton, NJ should weigh whether a specific unit still carries that older coverage.
What It Means for an Owner
Hamilton's combination of a 74.6% pre-1980 building stock, a $1,634 median rent, and RWJ University Hospital Hamilton's 248-bed campus shapes underwriting for anyone ready to sell your apartment building in Hamilton. Hamilton Station's Northeast Corridor service, 3,539 parking spaces, and about 60,500 state government jobs in the adjoining Trenton-Princeton labor market add steady renter demand.
