EXPERTS IN PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Ready to help you at ANY time of the day... or night
Extra Property Management is a full-service property management company working for rental owners across Lawrence Township — Lawrenceville, Eldridge Park, and the Route 1 corridor. Our office sits at 354 S Broad St in Trenton, just down Route 206 on Lawrence's own southern doorstep, so we are close enough to walk a vacant unit, meet a contractor, or file a registration the same day. We have earned a 4.8-star rating across 253 Google reviews by doing the unglamorous work well: filling units with screened tenants, collecting rent on time, and keeping owners informed.
Full-service residential, HOA & commercial management across Mercer, Middlesex, Somerset, Burlington, Hunterdon & western Monmouth NJ + Bucks County PA.
Whether you own a single-family home in Eldridge Park, a Society Hill townhouse condo, or a small portfolio along the Route 1 corridor, we handle the day-to-day so you don't have to. Our residential and rental property management in Lawrence Township covers the full cycle from vacancy to renewal — and, where a property is inside a rent-controlled complex, we manage it by the book.
Acting as your leasing agent, we market your Lawrenceville unit across the major rental portals, show it, and run full tenant screening on every applicant — credit, income verification, eviction history, and prior-landlord references. Demand here is fed by big institutions: Bristol-Myers Squibb's Lawrenceville R&D campus, Educational Testing Service, Rider University, and The Lawrenceville School. That steady employer base lets us hold out for a tenant who pays and stays.
Tenant screening processTenants pay through an online portal with automatic reminders and late-fee enforcement, and we deposit your net proceeds by direct transfer with a clear monthly statement. In Lawrence's rent-stabilized complexes we also track the CPI-tied annual increase the Rent Stabilization Board allows, so the rent you charge stays compliant. If a payment slips, we act on it immediately rather than letting arrears build.
Rent collection servicesLawrence's housing stock leans older — much of Eldridge Park was built between the 1940s and 1960s — so upkeep matters. We coordinate repairs through vetted local vendors, hold to a spending threshold you approve in advance, and give tenants a 24/7 way to report issues so small problems get fixed before they become expensive ones. That discipline protects a single-family rental and a garden-apartment unit alike.
We document move-in and move-out condition with photos, run periodic interior and exterior checks, and handle Lawrence Township's certificate-of-inspection process — required at least once every 24 months and on every tenant turnover before a rental license can issue. Consistent inspections protect your security-deposit position, keep your license current, and catch lease violations early.
If a tenancy goes wrong, Lawrence Township landlord-tenant cases are filed with the Special Civil Part of the Superior Court in Trenton, and New Jersey's Anti-Eviction Act limits removals to specific good causes. We manage the process end to end — proper Notice to Quit, filing, and court coordination — and our screening is designed to keep you out of that courtroom in the first place.
Eviction servicesYou get itemized monthly statements, year-end summaries built for your accountant, and on-demand access to every invoice and lease document through the owner portal. For investment property owners — and for the out-of-state investors Lawrence draws off its Route 1 employer base — that transparency is the difference between owning a rental and worrying about one.
Lawrence is dense with associations — Society Hill at Lawrenceville, Lawrence Square Village, Woodmont, Richlieu, and 55+ communities like Carriage Park. We provide HOA and condo association management — dues collection, vendor and common-area oversight, budget and reserve support, and board reporting — and we manage individual condo, townhome, and commercial rentals inside them, keeping owners compliant with both town rules and association bylaws.

Lawrence Township is a majority-owner suburb midway between Trenton and Princeton where about 31.5% of occupied homes are renter-occupied — roughly 3,641 of some 11,553 occupied units. Median gross rent for existing tenants is $1,953 a month (2019–2023 Census ACS), well above the Mercer County median of about $1,623, and current asking rents run higher still: RentCafe pegs the average apartment asking rent around $2,331, with one-bedrooms near $1,981 and three-bedrooms above $3,200. The result is a stable, longer-lease market driven by employers and universities rather than transient turnover.
Two anchors shape demand. First, Lawrence's Route 1 employer base — Bristol-Myers Squibb's roughly 50-year-old R&D campus, Educational Testing Service, and Rider University — supplies thousands of jobs and a small commercial-property market. Second, while Lawrence has no train station of its own, NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor at nearby Hamilton and the Trenton Transit Center put New York Penn and Philadelphia within a one-seat ride, so the town also draws commuter renters. The dominant investor property types are single-family homes, condos, and townhomes — not large apartment buildings, most of which are the rent-stabilized complexes. Short-term rentals barely register: Lawrence has no dedicated Airbnb ordinance, whole-home short-term rentals in residential zones are legally gray and may not qualify for a rental license, so nearly all our work here is standard long-term leasing — confirm zoning with the township before attempting one.
Lawrence runs one of the stricter rental regimes in Mercer County. Under its Rental Property chapter, every rental unit must be registered and licensed annually with the Municipal Clerk and re-registered on each change of tenancy, with licenses expiring one year after issuance. Each unit must pass a certificate-of-inspection at least once every 24 months and on every turnover (zoning plus an International Property Maintenance Code / fire-official inspection); a license won't issue if repairs are needed or if municipal taxes, water, or sewer are unpaid. Separately, Lawrence has a Rent Control / Rent Stabilization ordinance (Chapter 325) administered by a five-member Rent Stabilization Board — a fixed list of complexes (White Pine, King George Arms, Lawrenceville Gardens, Franklin Arms, Westgate, Sturwood Hamlet) have CPI-tied annual increases, a February 15 registration, and a tenant hardship-hearing right.
On top of the local rules, New Jersey's statewide obligations apply: the Truth-in-Renting Act, the security-deposit law (maximum one and one-half months' rent, returned within 30 days with itemization), and the Anti-Eviction Act's good-cause standard with a written Notice to Quit. We handle the annual registration, license, inspection scheduling, rent-control filings, tenant disclosures, and deposit compliance for you — missing a registration deadline or an inspection is exactly the kind of avoidable exposure a manager exists to prevent.
Search "property management Lawrence Township NJ" and you mostly find entrenched directory listings and statewide managers covering Lawrence from a distance — few who actually know the town's rent-control list or its every-turnover inspection rule. We take the opposite approach: a genuinely local team, a Trenton office on Lawrence's southern border, and a 4.8-star reputation built on 253 real Google reviews — the largest, most current review moat of any manager working this market. For a town this compliance-heavy and this HOA-dense, that combination of local presence and proven service is exactly what an owner should be hiring for.

Most full-service property managers in the Lawrence and greater Mercer County market charge between 8% and 10% of collected rent for ongoing management, plus a one-time tenant-placement fee that typically runs from half a month to a full month's rent. We publish our property management fees for Lawrenceville up front in a free rental analysis so you can compare honestly rather than guessing — affordable, flat-rate management with no surprise line items.
"Best" comes down to local knowledge, responsiveness, and a track record you can verify. Extra Property Management holds a 4.8-star rating across 253 Google reviews, works Lawrence from a Trenton office on its southern border, and knows the town's annual rental licensing, every-turnover inspections, and Rent Stabilization Board rules cold. We'd rather earn your business with a straight rental analysis than a sales pitch.
Yes. Lawrence is dense with associations, and we provide HOA and condo association management — dues collection, vendor oversight, budgeting, and board reporting — alongside individual condo and townhome rentals in communities like Society Hill and Lawrence Square Village. We also handle commercial property management along the Route 1 corridor. Tell us whether you're a board or an owner and we'll scope it accordingly.
We do. Lawrence eviction cases are filed with the Mercer County Special Civil Part in Trenton under New Jersey's Anti-Eviction Act, which requires good cause and a written Notice to Quit for most removals. We manage notice, filing, and court coordination from start to finish — though our upfront tenant screening is built to keep you out of that process in the first place.
Regularly. Lawrence's Route 1 employer base draws investors from out of state, and our owner portal, monthly statements, and local hands-on team are designed so an out-of-state owner never has to fly in to manage a problem. We handle showings, maintenance, the annual rental registration and inspection, and everything in between.
Only if it's on the covered list. Lawrence's Chapter 325 Rent Stabilization ordinance applies to a fixed set of complexes — White Pine, King George Arms, Lawrenceville Gardens, Franklin Arms, Westgate, and Sturwood Hamlet — where annual increases are tied to the CPI and set by the Rent Stabilization Board. Most single family homes, condos, and townhomes we manage are not rent-controlled. We'll confirm your property's status as part of the rental analysis.
