Local rules in Winslow Township, New Jersey
Rent regulation
Winslow’s rent control (Ord. O-2024-010) is for mobile home rental spaces rented as a principal residence: the rent may not rise more than 2.5% over any twelve months. A vacant or newly built space, and a new tenancy with no prior tenant remaining, sets its first rent freely. A landlord who takes more must charge the prior rent for the rest of the lease term. That fixed 2.5% is within the state’s 3.5% cap, so it stays in force.
