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.
The landlords must give the tenant at least 3 days' notice. They have no choice. The tenant must leave the premises before the end of the notice period to avoid eviction. Landlords may continue with the eviction process if the tenant refuses to leave after the 3 days' notice.
If the eviction is for nonpayment of rent, however, it can be instituted immediately without any notice to the tenant. The court calendars in most southern New Jersey counties have about a three-week lead time. This means that after you file, you are likely not walking into a courtroom for at least three to four weeks.
Residential leases carry an “implied warranty of habitability.” This means that a landlord has a duty to maintain the rental unit and keep it fit for residential purposes throughout the entire term of the lease and that the landlord must repair damage to vital facilities.
Fixed-Term Leases and Notice Periods If you don't intend to renew the lease, you must give notice to vacate. This must be in writing and delivered to the resident before the lease expires. In certain states like California, a 60-day notice is required if the resident has lived in the unit for at least a year.
