Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Re: Ultlities liability

No they can't but they try it all the time and can get very, very annoying and persistent.

If you have the little time to go to Small Claims court and you want to make your point, I have a little legal sleight of hand that you can use to get the case in front of a judge. You won't find it in any rule book, but it will get a judgment one way or the other. Of course, if you force their hand, you run the risk that a judge might see things their way.
