Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Jersey
Illegal Apartment
I'm a landlord and I rented an illegal apartment. How much time do I have to give the tenant to move? Should I serve him with a termination of tenacy? Do I absolutly have to pay him 6 months, although he has only been there 4 months and only paid me 2 months? Please help

You need to get your tenant out because the town may impose a fine. You owe him six months rent to move.
Call me if you like.

The only other thing you could try and do is file an action for ejectment in the law division to try and avoid the 3 month pre-suit notice and the 6 monts rent as reimbursement for moving expenses per NJSA 2A:18-61.1g
