Registering my rental Unit with Newark NJ

Claude Florvil
Posted

Has anyone registered their rental property in Newark, NJ? 

Context: I purchased a 2 family unit several years ago. I have only one Section 8 tenant currently. I would like to increase her rent but I'm seeing that we need to register properties with the city of Newark. I'm not sure if this is always a requirement or recent due to legislation against steep rent increases. Right now, I'm getting well below market rent but it's my own fault. I didnt know how much of a peaceful phlegmatic I was until owning real estate. 


What are the implications of registering my unit with the city? Will they inspect the whole house, or just the section 8?

Are my fellow Newark owners also registering their units?
