The firm reviews leases, notices, payment histories and communications to identify the proper next step. For covered residential tenancies, the New Jersey Anti-Eviction Act limits removal to recognized grounds and may require specific notice before filing. Tenants may have defenses tied to payment, property conditions or procedure. Clear advice begins with the complete documents and facts rather than assumptions about what normally happens.
