Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Re: notice to tenants, who are on a month-to-month basis

A landlord must give the tenant notice but before answering the question a lawyer would need to know what type of building this is as there are two different eviction acts.

Therefore it depends if the the house is a single family or multi family or even owner occupied multi family unit.

For example if the house is 3 units or less or the building is sold to someone who wishes to occupy the unit 2 months notice in the Notice to Quit is sufficient.

However, I would advise that you also include these provisions in the real estate contract prior to execution.

Also note that if you file a complaint to evict the tenant strict compliance with the statute is required.

If you need any further information please call my office to schedule an appointment.

Re: notice to tenants, who are on a month-to-month basis

This gets a bit tricky, and you have to follow the law exactly. Landlord-tenant law in New Jersey is pretty bad and you have to follow the rules exactly (not as bad as New York City, though).

Why not have the attorney who will handle the sale of your house, also take care of this?

Call if you want me to help you; I would be able to take care of it.
