My landlord is trying to kick me out?
My husband and me just moved in a new apartment.It;s only been a week and already were having issuses. My landlord is saying we can't cook because the other tenets smell it.We can have people over to our place. Then I find out the apartment is illegal for us to be living in.Tho it was not told to us before.I think my landlord just doesnt like us,so he's trying to kick us out. We dont have the money to move what can I do. Plus I don't have a lease does this mean i have no rights??

Please call my office and come in to see me. If the apartment is illegal, I may be able to force the landlord to pay YOU six months worth of rent. Really.
New Jersey law punishes a landlord for renting an illegal apartment. I would like to help you.
