New Jersey tax-escalation passthroughs — PILOT, special assessments, un-appealed tax credits — are the dispute lever for the Hudson and Edison-Woodbridge markets.
Cite N.J. Stat. § 2A:14-1 and the tax-escalation clause from your lease. The dispute letter should identify each unauthorised tax line item and the lease language not authorising it.
New Jersey courts read tax-escalation clauses strictly against the landlord. If the clause does not explicitly authorise inclusion of a particular tax (PILOT, special assessment), the passthrough is contestable.
New Jersey tenants — generate the dispute letter draft. The tax-escalation correction is usually the largest single line in the recovery.
