Hey everyone, I’m currently taking Summer II classes at Hudson County Community College. I am trying to figure out when the school usually disburses financial aid overages and sends out the actual refund checks or direct deposits for this term.
I’m asking because I need to buy textbooks for my classes, which is the whole reason I took out the loan in the first place. I really need to get my hands on the books soon so I don't fall behind.
Has anyone who has taken Summer 2 before (or this semester) gotten theirs yet, or do you know roughly what week of the semester they start hitting accounts? Thanks!

We are looking for space to accommodate approximately 20 people for my niece’s 17th birthday party. Thanks for any recommendations you have!

I'm planning to remodel my attic half bath into a full bath and am looking for architect recommendations in Hudson County. Ideally, I'd like someone who's willing to take on a smaller project like this.
Especially if they have experience working in Union City , since the building department is notorious when it comes to permits. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone — my wife and I are looking for someone to take over our lease for a 1-bedroom apartment at Riverbend at Port Imperial, located at 25 Avenue at Port Imperial in West New York, NJ.

We’ve genuinely loved living here and are only leaving because we purchased a home.

The apartment can be available as early as August, but we have some flexibility and could wait a month or two for the right person. The current lease runs through May 9, 2027.

Apartment details

• 708 sq. ft.
• 1 bedroom / 1 bathroom
• 7th-floor unit
• Courtyard-facing windows
• Northeast exposure with good morning natural light
• Large living room, approximately 19’ x 11’
• Bedroom approximately 11’7” x 11’6”
• Distinctive angled window area in the living room
• In-unit washer and dryer
• Dishwasher
• Pantry and coat closet
• Additional bedroom and hallway closet space
• Full bathroom with bathtub
• Individually controlled heating and air conditioning in both the bedroom and living room
• Pet-friendly
• Elevator building
• No balcony

The apartment looks into the building’s landscaped interior courtyard. The floor plan uses the phrase “courtyard locations” to identify certain units that have balconies near the pool-side portion of the property, but this particular unit does not have a balcony.

Rent and utilities

• $2,525/month without parking
• $2,725/month with one garage parking space
• Parking is optional
• A covered-level garage space is available for an additional $50/month
• Water, sewer, gas, and trash are provided by the building
• Tenant is responsible for electricity, internet, cable, and phone

Building amenities

• 24/7 front desk staff who receive packages and assist residents
• Fitness center
• Outdoor pool
• Hot tub
• Reservable outdoor grilling area
• Landscaped courtyard where the building occasionally holds events and residents spend time with children and pets

Transportation and neighborhood

The location is probably the biggest selling point, especially for anyone commuting into Manhattan:

• Less than a 5-minute walk to the Port Imperial NY Waterway Ferry
• The NJ Transit 158 bus stops directly across the street
• The bus ride to the Port Authority Bus Terminal is approximately 20 minutes through the Lincoln Tunnel, depending on traffic
• Immediate access to the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway
• ACME supermarket and a UPS Store nearby
• Plenty of cafés and restaurants within walking distance

The waterfront walkway is genuinely one of the best parts of living here, whether you like walking, running, biking, taking a dog out, or just being near the river and Manhattan skyline.

This would be completed through the building’s management rather than as an unofficial sublet. The replacement tenant would need to apply and receive management approval. Management may require an application and either a lease amendment or new lease paperwork. Port imperial lease.pdf

Happy to provide photos, a video walkthrough, the floor plan, additional details, or arrange a showing. Please message me if you’re seriously interested.

Im looking to do work on my car in the coming weeks and it's a project but I need space to do it anyone know anyone who has a personal garage with a lift or tools (ofc I'll pay)

Hey everyone,

As someone who won a rent control fight in NJ, I want to share some information that isn’t known by most renters.

1. Rent control, rent stabilization, rent leveling, etc. for all intents and purposes mean the same thing. They refer to laws that protect renters by doing things like placing caps on rents, setting a max percentage that rent can be raised annually, etc.
2. NJ does not have a state-wide rent control law. However, many municipalities do. You should absolutely google your towns name along with terms like rent control or rent stabilization to see if anything comes up.
3. IMPORTANT- in towns where rent control exists, NJ state law N.J.S.A. 2A:42-84.4 grants newly constructed units an exemption (multifamily buildings constructed after June 1987) for 30 years. However, the owner must meet 3 conditions:

a) prior to receiving the certificate of occupancy, they must claim the exemption in writing from the municipality. If they do not, the building falls under the municipality’s rent control.

b) notify every prospective tenant, prior to execution of the lease, that the building is exempt from rent control until X date (the duration of the exemption). This notification must be provable by the owner (eg in writing).

c) include the same above notification in the actual lease agreement.

So, how do you go about winning rent control?

First, you should confirm with your town that your landlord properly claimed the exemption. If they didn’t, congrats, your entire building is covered by rent control. Your landlord likely owes you any money you paid over the rent controlled amount set by your town and your rent increases will from here on out likely be capped annually.

Second, even if the building is exempt, landlords often fail to follow one or both of the other requirements. Sometimes your town will offer a review of your lease by a lawyer, but you can probably pull that off yourself or ask AI to help. But this also comes down to whether they informed you of the exemption ahead of the lease and they rarely do. Again, congrats, you may win rent control! It will be tenant specific rather than building wide, but it’s still huge. (Although if it’s a boiler plate lease, it could affect everyone. It could also affect everyone based on the note below).

Finally, check your actual local rent control ordinance language. Sometimes if the landlord failed to follow any of the 3requirements for exemption, the language of the ordinance states that the entire building’s exemption can be revoked in perpetuity.

I can’t recommend looking into all of this enough. It can be a life changer for you and potentially your neighbors as well.

Let me know if you have questions! Feel free to DM me with an update on your fight - I'd love to hear about it!

Hi everyone! I’m a college student volunteering to help reduce the community cat population through TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return).
Just when I thought we’d finally gotten all the neighborhood cats fixed, I found another tiny 3–4 week old kitten nursing from its mom. That means there are still unfixed cats out there, and our work isn’t finished.
I work with a local TNR organization that traps, spays/neuters, vaccinates, and returns community cats, but I have to cover the cost for each cat. Depending on the clinic and appointment availability, it costs anywhere from $10–130 per cat.
If you’re able to help, even a few dollars goes a long way toward preventing more unwanted litters and giving these cats a healthier life.
