— A Landlord’s Guide to Earning Guaranteed Rent in New Jersey
Are you a landlord, property owner, or property manager in New Jersey with available rental units? If so, the SOTA (Special One-Time Assistance) Program might be the perfect opportunity for you to fill your vacancies quickly and securely — with guaranteed rent payments.
At GoodBuy Homes NJ Realty, we specialize in helping landlords list their properties for this high-demand housing program, and we’re currently seeking additional units that qualify. If you have a rental that meets the basic program standards, you could be matched with a pre-approved, rent-ready tenant — fast.
Why Work with the SOTA Program?
The SOTA Program is a New York City initiative that helps qualified individuals and families experiencing homelessness relocate to permanent housing — often in New Jersey and surrounding areas — with the support of a full year’s rent paid upfront.
Key Benefits for Landlords:
-
✅ Guaranteed full-year rent upfront
-
✅ No broker fee charged to the landlord
-
✅ Low vacancy time — high demand
-
✅ Tenants are pre-screened and program approved
-
✅ Ongoing support from case managers and housing specialists
