I get it, I didn't mean literally pay for the heat. What I should have said was landlords should be able to afford and provide an adequate heating system that can keep up with the legal requirements.

Either way it seems like you're fine. I just took issue with the snarky comment to the above poster. Thinking tenants should be able to live in conditions afforded to them by the law doesn't mean they all deserve "perfect lives."

I mean, no matter how you look at it, the law in NJ is at least 65 at night and 68 during the day. In your case, I doubt any reasonable tenant is going to complain about 66 degrees on a very cold day, but as weather continues to get more extreme it really is your responsibility to make sure your heating system can keep up.

It's hard for everybody, sure, including homeowners. But if you can afford a down payment and a mortgage you can afford to heat the place, ESPECIALLY if you have tenants paying you rent. Let's not pretend landlords are some victims here and tenants are some prestige class that get special treatment. These laws exist for a reason.

A few downtown spots in walking distance from the Path:

Kitchen Step is really nice though a little expensive.

Dullboy is a great cocktail bar with a cool ambience and good food, also a bit expensive though.

Lucky 7 is a super fun casual dive bar if that’s a vibe you’re going for, and they have great drink specials.

Hudson Hall and Zeppelin Hall are both cool beergardens, large venues with great food and beer. Can get a little loud on the weekends and during big sports games.

Whatever you do just avoid The Ashford.
