Yes. The premises needs to be registered with the municipality. If it is not, you won't get a judgment. Fortunately, you can do that after the fact. Get your certificate from the municipality. If you need a lawyer's help, Mr. Davies, whose information is above, is a good choice.

NO, NO< NO! You must actually find a lawyer that knows what they're talking about!
By law, every landlord of a dwelling, except owner-occupied premises with not more than two rental units, must file with the clerk of the municipality in which the residential property is situated, or with the Bureau of Housing Inspection in the Department of Community Affairs, a certificate of registration. N.J.S.A. 46:8-28.
