Eviction in New Jersey: the Anti-Eviction Act and tenant rights
In most New Jersey rentals, a landlord can only evict for one of the good-cause reasons in the Anti-Eviction Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1), and only through the Landlord/Tenant section of the Superior Court, Special Civil Part. Most grounds other than nonpayment require written notice first. Lockouts without a court judgment and a warrant of removal are illegal, and in a nonpayment case a tenant can generally stop the eviction by paying everything owed by the close of business on the trial day.
