NJ PRO-Landlord Towns (New Jersey)

So NJ is known to be pro-tenant, but I've heard from some investors some towns are better than others.  

For instance, I hear Jersey City courts lean to the landlord (relative to other NJ towns) since the town is growing so fast and courts can't keep up with all the frivolous filings, and the mayor is pro-development whereas towns like Union City are very anti-landlord due to gov't keeping its majority voting block comprised of tenant-lifers in rent-controlled buildings. 

From my buddy out west, despite CA getting a bad wrap for being pro-tenant, he noticed how much better San Diego was than LA as a landlord. 

I presume town size in NJ plays a factor as well, though it may be secondary.  Would shore towns lean toward landlords given their seasonal rentals which bring a ton of $$$$ from bennies?  Thanks.
