What should I know about eviction laws in New Jersey?

Short Answer

Eviction in New Jersey is a legal process that must go through the court system. Landlords cannot lock tenants out, shut off utilities, or remove belongings without a court order. Valid reasons for eviction include non-payment of rent, lease violations, disorderly conduct, and owner move-in. The process typically takes 30 to 90 days from filing to possession. Always consult with a real estate attorney before starting an eviction. Full answer page coming soon.
