Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

All who signed the lease are equally responsible for payment of the rent. Whether he makes the payment voluntarily is another issue. If you are just talking about August and September, the amount in dispute appears to be $1,055. It seems that if your partner does not pay, someone (either the landlord or you) could sue him in Small Claims Court. Collection would then be another issue.

Keep in mind that this advice is given based on the little bit of information that you have provided in your question. My advice may change based on other information. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You cannot rely on this advice because we have not personally met and you have not retained me as an attorney. If you have not already done so, you should immediately meet with an attorney who is familiar with tenancy laws for a full consultation before you take any further steps. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
