Rent Control & 2026 Rules
Weehawken maintains an active Rent Leveling Board and current rent-control ordinance. In 2025-2026 the Township also added rules addressing algorithmic rent-setting, while certain newer buildings may have partial exemptions for defined periods. Rent-control status should be verified for the exact property rather than assumed from neighborhood, building type or age.
Tenant and owner caution: use the current Township code and Rent Leveling Board for property-specific questions; NJTGO provides general community context only.
