NJ state
law makes it easy for a landlord to obtain court-ordered eviction of tenants
from 1-3 unit buildings and condos and from all rental buildings through condo
conversions or other means. Even when an eviction is illegal, the tenant
may be unaware of NJ Eviction Law and/or too afraid to contest it in court.

Thus, if
this DECONTROL ballot question is
approved by the voters, landlords will have the means and incentive to evict
current tenants or otherwise “convince” them to move “voluntarily” and then
jack up the rent to whatever they want for new tenants. MANY HOBOKEN RENTERS WILL LOSE THEIR HOMES.

Note: This
public question is a court-ordered re-vote of a question already decided and defeated last year, when a majority of 16,444
Hoboken voters voted “no”. The supporters of the “yes” vote to eliminate tenant
Rent Control protections convinced the courts to overturn that valid democratic
election result by submitting false
evidence that 114 “displaced Hoboken voters” were not allowed to vote on
this Hoboken public question.
