Sell Your Commercial Property In Hoboken, NJ

Who rents in Hoboken, NJ

Renters hold 66.2% of Hoboken's 28,088 occupied homes, 18,607 households, under ACS 2020-2024 figures. Hoboken's housing stock sits mostly in larger buildings: 79.3% of its 30,259 housing units, 23,987 homes, sit in structures with five or more units, with a median year built of 1977. Just over half, 51.8%, predate 1980. That mix of older, five-plus-unit stock matters most to anyone selling commercial property in Hoboken and pricing against comparable apartment sales.

Landlord rules for Hoboken owners

Hoboken runs its own rent control program under Chapter 155 of the city code, since New Jersey leaves rent control to municipal choice rather than a statewide cap. Landlords register each building annually through the city's SDL Portal, and vacancy decontrol applies on turnover. Statewide, N.J.S.A. 46:8-19 et seq. caps a security deposit at 1.5 times one month's rent, due back within 30 days after the lease ends. Under the Anti-Eviction Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1 et seq., nonpayment needs no notice to quit before suit, while habitual late payment needs a month's notice after a written notice to cease. Owners ready to sell your apartment building in Hoboken should hand buyers current registration records at closing.
