In New Jersey a landlord is not allowed to refuse to renew a lease with a tenant without grounds for “good cause”. Grounds for good cause may sound obvious, but they include the following reasons:
Failing to pay rent when due or owed.
Disorderly conduct that disturbs the peace and quiet of neighbors.
Tenant’s gross negligence which has caused damage or destruction to the premises.
Continued violation or breach of landlord’s reasonable rules.
Failure to pay rent after a valid notice to quit and a reasonable rent increase.
Premises will be demolished due to housing violations affecting health and safety.
Owner’s desire to permanently retire the premises from residential use.
Tenant’s refusal to accept proposed new terms of lease that are reasonable at termination of the lease and lease renewal.
The building where the premises is located is being converted to a condo or coop structure.
The tenancy was conditioned on the tenant being employed as a superintendent, janitor, or in some other capacity and the employment is being terminated.
