3 Questions on Eviction Proceedings in New Jersey

Whether you’re a landlord or a tenant, there may come a time when you face legal actions or consider taking legal actions. What are some common terms that you might hear?

Here are 3 common questions we get on eviction proceedings.

1. What is a “Notice to Cease” and “Notice to Quit”?

When a landlord wants to terminate a contract with a tenant, depending on the type of case, they may be required to give the tenant notice prior to beginning formal legal proceedings. If termination is for cause (such as nonpayment of rent or violating the lease by having a pet), the tenant may have a right for a period of time to remedy the issue.

Question: What is a survey and why do I need one? 

Answer: A survey is a map of your property, showing precisely where your house lies within the property boundaries, as well as easements, other encumbrances, setback lines, and building lines. A survey will reveal whether the property is in violation of any county requirements or PUD restrictions and whether there are any encroachments.

Surveys are prepared by professional, licensed surveyors pursuant to industry standards; a Survey is also mostly insured for its own liability.
