Every tenant in New Jersey has the right to get their security deposit returned whenever they move out of the rental property. In these cases, the security deposit must be returned within 30 days of the tenant leaving the unit.
RETURN OF SECURITY DEPOSIT If the landlord fails to return the tenant's security deposit within 30 days, then the tenant is entitled to sue the landlord for the return of the security deposit.
