Apartments and Homes for Rent in East Rutherford, NJ

Rentals in East Rutherford range from apartments to whole houses, and the current listings are below. This page covers what is specific to renting in East Rutherford, Bergen County: how local rent rules apply, what landlords ask for, and what to check before you sign.

Does East Rutherford have rent control?

Yes. The Borough of East Rutherford regulates rents under a local ordinance, administered by its Rent Control Board.

The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs lists East Rutherford as having a rent control ordinance in its 2026 Rent Control Survey, a review of the codes of ordinances of all 564 New Jersey municipalities. The survey names the Rent Control Board as the administering body and gives (201) 933-3444 as the number for more information. The ordinance text is published on the municipal code.

The threshold is where East Rutherford differs from its neighbors. The DCA survey records the units-in-structure threshold here as 3 or more. Neighboring Rutherford uses 4 or more, and neighboring Carlstadt has no rent control ordinance on record at all, so three towns that share borders apply three different rules. The ordinance also lists its own exceptions, so confirm the specific unit with the borough rather than assuming either way.

What that means when you are looking. Ask the landlord whether the unit is subject to the local rent control ordinance, and if the answer matters to you, confirm it with the Rent Control Board before you sign. I do not publish the allowable increase percentages here, on purpose. They change, they can differ by category of tenant and by type of building, and the DCA survey itself states that it is only as current as the published municipal codes and directs you to your town's rent control board for accurate and up to date information and rates. That board is the source, not an article.

What will an East Rutherford landlord ask you for?

The same things landlords across New Jersey ask for, and having them ready before you view is what decides who gets the place:

Photo identification.
Proof of income, such as recent pay stubs, an offer letter, or tax returns if you are self-employed.
Employment confirmation.
Previous landlord references, where you have them.
Whatever the landlord requires for a credit check.

A landlord cannot refuse you because you pay with a housing voucher. The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination protects lawful source of income, including vouchers and other rental assistance, and the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights enforces it.

Many New Jersey municipalities require an inspection before a new tenant moves in. It is the landlord's responsibility and it can move a move-in date, so ask whether East Rutherford requires one as soon as your application is accepted.

The full renting process, the costs up front and the questions renters ask are on the rentals page for Northern New Jersey.

Renting in East Rutherford before buying

A year renting in a town tells you things research will not, and plenty of people rent first on purpose. If that is your plan, say so at the start, because it changes which lease makes sense. Homes for sale are on the East Rutherford listings page, the wider county is on the Bergen County page, and how buying works in New Jersey is set out step by step.

I am Reshmee Jugmohun, a licensed New Jersey real estate agent with Prominent Properties Sotheby's International Realty, and I work with renters and buyers throughout Bergen County. I am not a property manager and not an attorney: once you move in, your relationship is with the landlord, and a lease review goes to a New Jersey attorney.
