Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

In New Jersey, a residential tenant can be evicted only by a Special Civil Part Court Officer pursuant to a court order. The court order is obtained by the landlord through a summary disposess suit. The means by which the tenancy was created or its length are not relevant. Any other means of eviction is unlawful. If your landlord proposes to evict you by any other means, call the police.
