Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Jersey

The New Jersey Supreme Court concluded in Miah v. Ahmed, 177 N.J. 511 (2004) that tenants who are evicted as a result of a zoning ordinance violation for an illegal occupancy are entitled to relocation assistance constituting six months of monthly rent regardless of the tenant's actual expenses. The sum must be paid by the landlord prior to eviction, and the landlord cannot reduce its obligation by the amount of past-due rent or other damages. The decision is based on N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1h and resolved questions of law about application of that statute. So, your landlord should give you the six month's rent and then you will have what you need to move. If the landlord refuses, consult a lawyer in your area who practices landlord/tenant law. � See also: http://info.corbettlaw.net/lawguru.htm

what the other lawyer meant is this:

YOUR LANDLORD HAS TO PAY YOU SIX MONTH'S RENT!!!!! RIGHT NOW!!!

the landlord has to pay to you whatever the rent is times six. pay to you. for you to keep. it's yours.
