NJ Requirements for a contact/address in same county as rental property

[J. Brian Walters]

For all NJ Landlords, I recently bought my first property and should have it rented shortly. I'm reading through the NOLO information for NJ Rental Laws and one of the things it states is that if you do not live in the same county as the rental property you must provide a contact info/address of a person in that county authorized to accept notices, etc from the tenant. Below is the text from N.J.A.C. 5:29 (2013)

 -----------------------

If the address of any record owner is not located in the county in which the dwelling is located, the name and address of a person who resides in the county and is authorized to accept notices from a tenant, to issue receipts for those notices and to accept service of process on behalf of the out-of-county record owner(s) are as follows:

------------------------

I just live in the next county over and only around 35 minutes from the property.    For those NJ landlords, do you appoint someone in the same county as the property to meet this regulation or just ignore it. 

Thanks,
