EXPERTS IN PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Ready to help you at ANY time of the day... or night
Extra Property Management is a full-service management company headquartered right here in Trenton, at 354 S Broad St. This is our home town, not a market we service from an hour away — we sit a few blocks from the county courthouse, the state complex, and most of the rowhome and multi-family blocks on our roster. Our 4.8-star rating across 253 Google reviews was earned the unglamorous way: screened placements, rent in on time, older buildings kept compliant, and owners kept in the loop.
Full-service residential, HOA & commercial management across Mercer, Middlesex, Somerset, Burlington, Hunterdon & western Monmouth NJ + Bucks County PA.
Whether you own a single Chambersburg rowhouse, a two- or three-family building in North Trenton, a downtown condo, or a small portfolio, we handle the day-to-day. Our residential property management in Trenton runs the full cycle from vacancy to renewal — and we know the city's older attached and multi-family stock cold.
As your leasing agent in Trenton, we list your unit on the portals renters actually use, run the showings, and vet every applicant on credit, verified income, eviction history, and prior-landlord references. In a majority-renter city carried by thousands of state, county, and Capital Health jobs, applicant flow stays steady enough to be selective. Our tenant placement services are tuned to Trenton's fast-moving rowhome and 2-to-4-family stock.
Tenant screening processResidents pay online with auto-reminders and enforced late fees, and your net proceeds land by direct deposit alongside a plain monthly statement. When a payment slips we chase it the same week instead of letting a month become three — the discipline that keeps a Trenton rowhome cash-flowing instead of drifting toward court.
Rent collection servicesMuch of Trenton is late-19th- and early-20th-century brick rowhouses and multi-family buildings, so aging systems come with the territory. We dispatch vetted local trades who know old-house plumbing, knob-and-tube quirks, and shared party-wall roofs, cap non-emergency spend at a limit you set, and give residents a round-the-clock way to report problems — so a dripping valve never becomes a ruined ceiling.
We document move-in and move-out condition with photos, run periodic interior and exterior checks, and handle the Certificate of Housing Code Compliance and rental Certificate of Occupancy inspections the City requires — smoke/CO detectors, fire safety, habitability minimums. Consistent inspections protect your security-deposit position, satisfy Housing Inspections, and catch lease violations early.
When a tenancy fails, Trenton cases go to the Special Civil Part at the Mercer County Civil Courts Building, 175 S. Broad St — a few doors from our office — and NJ's Anti-Eviction Act only permits removal on good-cause grounds. We run it start to finish: valid notice, the filing, the court date, and coordination with the Sheriff on any warrant of removal. Our eviction services lean on screening built to keep you out of that room to begin with.
Eviction servicesEvery month you get an itemized statement; every January, a year-end package your accountant can work from; and any time, the underlying invoices and leases live in the owner portal. That visibility matters most for property management for out-of-state owners — and Trenton's affordable multi-family product pulls investors from New York, Philadelphia, and beyond — turning a distant rental into a readable line of numbers instead of a worry.
Beyond apartment building management and rowhome rentals, we handle commercial property management for the storefronts and mixed-use buildings along Trenton's corridors, plus HOA and condo association management for the townhome complexes and downtown historic conversions where associations govern. From the work condo management companies do — dues, vendor oversight, board reporting — to individual condo rentals, we scope it to what you own. See our HOA management services.
Trenton is a majority-renter city: about 64% of households rent — roughly 20,600 renter households against 11,500 owner-occupied — nearly double New Jersey's statewide renter share of around 36%. That makes it one of the region's deepest rental markets and a defining multi-family investment town. Citywide average apartment rent ran roughly $1,478–$1,515 a month in 2025, up about 2.9% year over year; studios and one-bedrooms sit below that, while 2- and 3-bedroom rowhome units rent above it. A rental market analysis for Trenton has to account for how much the number swings by neighborhood and unit type.
Two forces shape demand. First, Trenton is New Jersey's state capital: the State is the single largest employer, and Mercer County, city government, and Capital Health add thousands more jobs — steady demand for downtown-adjacent rentals. Second, the Trenton Transit Center puts NJ Transit and Amtrak on the Northeast Corridor roughly an hour from both Manhattan and Philadelphia, with SEPTA into Philadelphia and the RiverLine to Camden — an affordable commuter base for two job markets. The dominant investor product is multi-family — duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes — not apartment towers. Short-term rentals barely register: Airbnb management is legal but tightly regulated under the City's Short-Term Rentals chapter, and as a government and hospital city rather than a tourist one, Trenton runs on long-term leasing — nearly all of our work here.
Trenton requires every non-owner-occupied rental to be registered and licensed under the City's Absentee Owner Program, run by the Division of Housing Inspections (609-989-3563). Annual registration runs $90 per structure plus $25 per dwelling unit, covering the permit and required inspections. A Certificate of Housing Code Compliance — zoning, fire safety, smoke and CO detectors, habitability minimums — is required before any change of ownership, and buildings over four units need an on-site agent within 200 feet. The city also runs Rent Control (Chapter 222) and a separate Short-Term Rentals chapter (Chapter 228).
Layered on top are New Jersey's statewide rules: the Truth-in-Renting statement, a security deposit capped at one and one-half months' rent in a separate interest-bearing account (N.J.S.A. 46:8-19), and the Anti-Eviction Act's good-cause standard (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1), which bars no-cause non-renewal on covered units. We carry the Absentee Owner registration and fees, the CO and Housing Code Compliance inspections, the disclosures, and deposit handling — so a missed filing or lapsed certificate never becomes your fine to pay.
Search "property management Trenton NJ" and you mostly turn up statewide firms and stale directory entries run by managers who treat the city as an outlying pin on a map. We are the opposite: Trenton is our headquarters, not a satellite. The office at 354 S Broad St is minutes from the courthouse, Housing Inspections, and the rowhome blocks we look after — backed by a 4.8-star reputation across 253 real Google reviews, the deepest, most current review record any manager in this city can show. For a majority-renter town of older multi-family stock and real compliance duties, that mix of on-the-ground presence and a proven record is what an owner is truly hiring.
I had a wonderful experience renting my home through Extra Property Management. The whole process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. The team was always responsive, helpful, and made everything easy. Highly recommend!
I had a few properties that became too much for me to handle on my own, but Extra Property Management did an amazing job. They helped me with everything, keeping track of the details, and taking care of my tenants with respect.
Great team. They have good properties, all in good condition, and they're very fast and efficient with their work. I can't wait to move into my new place. Thank you Extra Property Management.
In Trenton and greater Mercer County, ongoing full-service management usually lands between 8% and 10% of the rent collected, with a separate one-time placement fee of roughly half a month to a full month's rent for a new tenant. We put our figure in writing during a free rental analysis, so comparing property management fees in Trenton is a side-by-side, not a guess — affordable, flat-rate pricing with no buried items.
"Best" is really local knowledge, responsiveness, and a record you can check. Extra Property Management is based in Trenton at 354 S Broad St, carries a 4.8-star rating across 253 Google reviews, and works the city's rowhome, multi-family, condo, and storefront stock every day. As one of the more established property management companies in Trenton NJ, we would rather win you with an honest rental analysis than a pitch.
Yes. Every non-owner-occupied rental in Trenton must be registered and licensed under the City's Absentee Owner Program through the Division of Housing Inspections. Registration runs $90 per structure plus $25 per unit and covers required inspections, and a Certificate of Housing Code Compliance is needed before any ownership change. We handle the registration, per-unit fees, and CO inspections for you so nothing lapses.
We do. A Trenton eviction is heard by the Mercer County Special Civil Part at the Civil Courts Building, 175 S. Broad St, under the Anti-Eviction Act's good-cause rule. We prepare the notice, file the complaint, cover the hearing, and coordinate any warrant of removal with the Sheriff — all a short walk from our door — while our screening up front aims to make that trip unnecessary.
Constantly. Trenton's affordable multi-family product pulls investors from New York, Philadelphia, and further out, and between the owner portal, monthly statements, and a team physically in the city, a distant owner rarely needs to be here at all. We cover showings, repairs, the Absentee Owner registration, and everything between.
All of Trenton — Chambersburg and South/East Trenton, North Trenton, Mill Hill and downtown, and West Trenton's Hiltonia and Villa Park — plus the surrounding Mercer County towns. If you own a rowhome, a 2-to-4-family building, a condo, or a storefront in the city, we manage it from our office right here.
