My Rights if Landlord Evicts Me
I am a single mother with 2 children ages 13 & 11. I also have 3 small dogs. Landlord lives in 2 family with his wife. Landlord okayed dogs prior to moving in and has been pretty good up until the point where he’s repeatedly asked me to dinner, weekend trips, etc behavior as a ”paramour”. Upon saying NO for the ”nth” time, landlord has been commenting that now dogs and children are bothersome. My lease is up in 2 months. I’ve been model tenant all the time, even performing small repair/paint jobs prior to his insistence on developing a personal relationship. I cannot afford to move within the next 2 months. Although he has not formally said anything yet- I worry that his subtle hints about noise lately may turn into an eviction. How long can I stay on in order to find suitable other rental should he serve me notice to quit or raise the rent exorbitantly?

Evicting a tenant
I have a tenant that is now 15 days overdue for his rent. This has become a recurring habit with him ever since his girlfriend left the apartment (she left because of his drinking problem). Can you tell me what I have to do in New Jersey to evict him? I’ve been putting up with late payments because he was a good tenant, but I’ve finally had enough. I could also be getting much more in rent with new tenants. I printed out a notice to quit letter but I don’t know where to go from there. Any help would surely be appreciated. Thank you

Eviction Case That Desperately Needs Attention!
We were served a 3-Day Notice To Quit on 05-14-08 from the Authorized Agent of our landlord’s attorney.
He claims the City is insisting on our eviction due to an overlooked building permit from 1951 stating our home was to be converted into a garage.
Because the building permit was overlooked 56 years ago, our home was never converted. The tenant has been renting here for over twenty years from our landlord, who owns the property.
The City inspectors informed us that we have ”absolutely no rights as tenants” and stated the only solution is our immediate eviction. We were further advised that we are subject to fines, imprisonment, and/or both for noncompliance with the unlawful detainer lawsuit filed against us.
I am desperately seeking any assistance available to us!
