Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Jersey

Re: Apartment Lease

Your landlord must follow applicable law to retain your security deposit at the termination of the lease. You would have the right to challenge such an action in court. Your landlord might be entitled to retain your security deposit if you caused damages to the premises in excess of the security deposit, as an example.

I strongly recommend that you consult with an attorney immediately so that you can explore your legal rights, obligations, and options. If you wish to discuss retaining my services, contact me at:
