Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Can i be Evicted?

I know there is the item stating that you can not disrupt the peace and quiet of your fellow tenants but can i be evicted for this?

I have had two insidence where i was noisy, once when a bottle fell off my balacony at 12 am. another tenant called the police on me. And the second was when i was locked out and rang the door bell twice at 2 am in the morning. Then had to call my roommate on the phone. Supposely this woke someone up across the street. (i think it was the downstairs neighbor again complaining about me. ) Ive gotten written notices from the landlord threating me with eviction citing these two times. Is this enough to evict me or are they just treatening me? Should i be worried. I try to be quiet. but on the weekend i do come home late.

What do i do?

Re: Can i be Evicted?

You can be evicted but the landlord must follow very specific Notice requirements as a prerequisite to eviction. If the landlord is not represented by a competant attorney, the notice(s) that you received are likely wrong.
