Landlord and Tenant

Located in Toms River, Ocean County, New Jersey
Eviction Notice

Whether you’re a landlord or tenant, you have fights under New Jersey law.  In any landlord-tenant dispute, we recommend both parties have an attorney in place.

Carluccio, Leone, Dimon, Doyle & Sacks L.L.C. offers significant experience in New Jersey landlord-tenant court.  Whether you’re trying to evict a renter, trying to fight an eviction or simply navigating a complex leasing process, we’re here.  For both landlords and tenants, the first step is knowing your rights.

Tenant Rights in New Jersey

 

Facing a dispute with your landlord can be intimidating. Eviction, legal expenses, security deposits… it can seem like they hold all the cards. But landlords in New Jersey must follow strict rules, and as a tenant, you have rights.

What are your landlord’s obligations to you? When do you have a right to withhold payment? What resources and options are available for you to resolve a dispute?

New Jersey renter’s rights are well-established. For example, did you know that security deposits are not permitted to exceed one-and-a-half month’s rent? Yes, even if you have a pet. What’s more, any interest earned on your security deposit belongs to you. Your landlord must pay it to you in cash, or credit it towards your rent. They must also notify you of the account number and location of the deposit amount.

As a tenant, you also have a right to habitability. Your landlord must provide vital repairs and maintenance. This can include plumbing, air conditioning, and even small repairs, such as replacing locks.

There are also procedures your landlord must follow when attempting to evict you. Even once an eviction complaint has reached the court, you still have options available. If you’re facing eviction, you need information, resources, and representation.

We’re here for you. We’ll fight for your rights in:

  • Habitability hearings
  • Security deposit litigation
  • Wrongful eviction
  • Unlawful disposition of property actions
  • Disorderly Conduct
  • Other matters commenced by tenants.
