New Jersey city moves to cap rent hikes at just $20 — what tenants need to know

Renters in one New Jersey city are getting a major break on housing costs — with annual rent increases capped at just $20 after voters overwhelmingly backed a measure to restore one of the state’s toughest rent-control protections. Residents of Elizabeth, a city just south of Newark Liberty International Airport, voted Tuesday to reinstate a decades-old rule limiting annual rent hikes on rent-controlled apartments to 3% or $20, whichever is less. Elizabeth, NJ, voters approved a measure capping annual rent increases at just $20 for rent-controlled apartments. Jin – stock.adobe.com The measure passed with roughly 68% support, according to unofficial election results, marking a victory for tenant advocates after years of legal battles with landlords and city officials. “I’m heartened that my hometown overwhelmingly voted to approve a measure that ultimately would make Elizabeth more affordable,” Isaac Jimenez, a member of the Freelizabeth campaign committee, told The Post. “Rent control is affordable housing, and most typically how people experience affordable housing. This is just the beginning for an era of tenant organizing and tenant power in Elizabeth.” But there’s a catch: The voter-approved ordinance is set to expire in December 2027, leaving its longer-term future in the hands of city

Perth Amboy nominated for federal Opportunity Zone designation

PERTH AMBOY – The city has been nominated for designation as a federal Opportunity Zone, a move officials say could attract private investment in local businesses, housing and neighborhood redevelopment. Gov. Mikie Sherrill submitted 130 New Jersey census tracts for federal designation, the maximum allowed under federal law. The recommendations were submitted to the U.S. Department of the Treasury and are not yet final. The Opportunity Zone program provides tax incentives to qualifying private investors who make long-term investments in designated low-income census tracts. Investments may support commercial properties, eligible businesses and housing developments. “Perth Amboy has tremendous potential, and this nomination gives us another opportunity to build on the investment and redevelopment already taking place across our city,” Mayor Helmin J. Caba said. The state selected the nominated tracts after a four-month outreach process involving counties and eligible municipalities. Officials considered community priorities, investment readiness, housing access, transit-oriented development and the risk of displacement. The city will wait for federal action before identifying which properties could qualify under a final designation.
