Municipal Clerks are reminded that the Mayor information provided through your Municipal Contact List (MCL) is critical for use by many State agencies, including DCA and the SAGE grant system (System for Administering Grants Electronically).  EVEN IF YOUR MAYOR INFORMATION DID NOT CHANGE from 2012, you must still CONFIRM THE INFORMATION LISTED IN YOUR MCL for 2013.  A tutorial is available in the Clerk document library.  If you need assistance updating the MCL form, please e-mail the GovConnect Helpdesk at EGG@dca.state.nj.us.

A document has been posted to the Clerk Library which provides information regarding security deposits for residential rental properties affected by Hurricane Sandy.  When a residential rental unit is declared uninhabitable, the landlord is required to return the security deposit to the tenant.  Under the Security Deposit Law, the landlord may give the security deposit to the Municipal Clerk to hold, so the tenant can collect it from the clerk.  You should contact your municipal attorney if you have any questions concerning specific applications of the Security Deposit Law to landlords and tenants in your municipality.  For more general questions, please contact Karen.Schwacha@dca.state.nj.us
