Need help! Rent control in union city, NJ

[Sooyeon Kim]

Hi all,

I'm interested in 8 family house in union city and learning rent control laws in nj. Out of 8, 2 are protected tenants who are paying less than 400/month and other 6 are section 8. I have few questions but hard to find answers;

1. Does union city have vacancy decontrol law? If not, does that mean i cannot reset the rental price between tenants?

2. Do i have to take on rest of 6 section 8 tenants? Or can i ask the seller to deliver i few units vacant? 

3. If i separate heat, can i ask protected tenants to start paying their heating bill?

Thank you in advance for your help and advises.
