New Jersey landlord-tenant law does not state a specific amount of time landlords have to fix issues with rental units. However, if landlords do not complete repairs in a reasonable amount of time, tenants may conduct repairs and deduct repair costs from their rent.
Tenant rights grant them the ability to seek housing without any kind of discrimination from their landlord, as well as to ensure habitable housing conditions. New Jersey landlord-tenant law also allows tenants to request property repairs on time.
Verified Complaints are generally not required, except when ex parte relief is sought or when required by a statute or rule regarding a specific cause of action. N.J.R.

Fixed-Term Leases and Notice Periods In certain states like California, a 60-day notice is required if the resident has lived in the unit for at least a year. Delaware requires at least a 60-day notice for month-to-month lease agreements. However, in most states, 30 days is the accepted minimum.
A landlord cannot evict tenants or remove their belongings from a rental home without first getting a judgment for possession and then a warrant of removal from the court. Only a special civil part officer can perform the eviction on behalf of a landlord.
