Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

No. You must go through legal process to evict her, following all statutory and other legal requirements.

You should consult a landlord/tenant lawyer who does lots of eviction work. That lawyer would be familiar with all the requirements, and would also probably be more economical that going to just any lawyer.

This response is not legal advice, since I do not have all of the information that would be required, and I do not have a representation agreement with you.

* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.

* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.

You need to enforce by an eviction lawsuit in court. There are a lot of things to consider when you have a tenant who is not paying, and I would be happy to go over this with you. Before you take action, you want to know what the law is and what your options are. You want to plan your best strategy to get the rent paid, or to get the store back and rent to someone who WILL pay the rent.

Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and I will go over this with you, and give you some advice.
