A limit for rent increases in New Jersey exists — it's just undefined. A lawsuit in Hoboken could bring clarity to tenants and landlords alike. Hoboken's tenant lawyer filed a lawsuit on behalf of three families against luxury developer AvalonBay pertaining to rent hikes at Hoboken Avalon, Patch reported . The lawsuit, filed in June, has the support of the city, despite it not being a party in the case. The lawsuit alleges the rent hikes facing the families at 800 Madison Street are too steep, in violation of both state and local law.
