New Jersey doesn't play by the same rules
NJ has some of the strictest landlord-tenant laws in the country. One misstep can cost you thousands — or months.
You can't end a tenancy because the lease expired. NJ requires a legally recognized ground — and one procedural mistake resets the entire clock.
NJ requires landlords to pay tenants interest on their security deposit every year. Miss it, and you owe double damages plus attorney's fees.
Each has its own caps, exemptions, and registration requirements. Jersey City's rules differ from Hoboken's, which differ from Newark's.
Court backlogs, mandatory mediation, and strict procedural requirements mean a single missed step can cost you months of lost rent.
AI-Powered.
Owner-Focused.
NJ-Expert.
We don't rely on off-the-shelf software alone. We built a proprietary AI operating system on top of best-in-class property software, purpose-built for NJ property management.
You have a direct number for the person who knows your property. Not a ticket number, not a call center.
Every dollar in and out of your property is visible in real time. No waiting for monthly statements. No surprises.
More than 100 NJ municipalities have rent control. We track all of them — security deposits, the Anti-Eviction Act, eviction procedures.
Our AI monitors your property 24/7. When a maintenance issue is detected, a vendor is dispatched — often before you know there's a problem.

What NJ landlords say about PPM
Verified Google Reviews
"PPM took over two of my rentals in Parsippany last year and honestly it's been the best landlord decision I've made. Dan is reachable, the owner portal is clear, and I haven't had a single surprise charge. Maintenance issues get handled fast."
"I was managing my Jersey City condo from out of state and it was a nightmare. PPM took over six months ago and I haven't had to deal with a single issue directly. Rent hits my account on time every month. Genuinely stress-free."
"The difference between PPM and the company we used before is night and day. We actually know what's happening with our properties in real time. The monthly statements are clean and detailed. I refer every landlord I know to Dan."
FAQ
What does a property management company do?
A property management company runs your rental on your behalf. That means finding and screening tenants, collecting rent, handling maintenance requests, enforcing the lease, and sending you a financial report every month. You stay the owner. We do the work.
How much does property management cost in New Jersey?
Most NJ property management companies charge between 8% and 12% of monthly collected rent, plus a one-time leasing fee when a new tenant is placed. Watch for setup fees, technology fees, or maintenance markups — those add up fast. PPM charges one management fee, no add-ons.
What areas of New Jersey does Proactive Property Management serve?
PPM serves landlords across Northern and Central New Jersey — Jersey City, Hoboken, Newark, Parsippany, Morristown, Edison, Woodbridge, Hackensack, Clifton, and dozens of surrounding towns. Call (973) 330-8261 to confirm coverage for your address.
How do I get started with a property manager in NJ?
Three steps: (1) We do a free rental analysis — no cost, no commitment. We tell you what your property should rent for and what the current market looks like. (2) You review the management agreement. (3) We take over. Most owners are fully onboarded within one to two weeks.
What makes Proactive Property Management different?
We're not a franchise. You get a direct line to the person managing your property — not a call center. PPM built a proprietary AI operating system on top of best-in-class property software, purpose-built for NJ property management. One flat management fee — no markups, no surprises.
Does PPM handle evictions in New Jersey?
Yes. Our screening process keeps evictions rare, but when they happen, we manage the full process — proper notice, court filing, and coordination through to possession. NJ eviction law is strict and procedural; a misstep resets the clock and costs you months.
Can you manage my property if I live out of state?
Yes. A significant portion of our owners don't live in New Jersey. Your owner portal gives you real-time access to financials, maintenance updates, and lease documents from anywhere. We're your eyes and hands on the ground.
