period of time for a resident to comply with the notice must be reasonable under the circumstances (Brunswick Street Assocs . v. Gerard, 357 N.J. Super. 598 (2002)). After serving a “Notice to Quit,” on the tenant, the landlord may file suit for an eviction. If a suit for eviction is filed and the landlord wins his case, he may be granted a Judgment for Possession. A Judgment for Possession terminates the tenancy and allows the landlord to have the tenant evicted from the rental premises. No residential landlord may evict or fail to renew a lease, whether it is a written or an oral lease without good cause. The landlord must be able to prove in court that he has grounds for an eviction. 33 Applicability The Anti-Eviction Act applies to most residential rental properties including single-family homes, mobile homes and land in a mobile home park, apartment buildings, and complexes. This law also applies to rooming and boarding homes (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-53 to -84). Exceptions This law may not apply to two - or three-unit owner-occupied premises with two (2) or fewer rental units.

n owner-occupied two-, or three-family dwelling. A tenant in an owner- occupied two-, or three-family dwelling may, however, make this provision applicable to their tenancy 30 days after sending a written request to the landlord that the landlord fulfill the requirements of the Security Deposit Law. In New Jersey, the landlord is not required to collect a security deposit from the tenant, however, if they do, they must follow prescribed rules and regulations (N.J.S.A. 46:8-26). The maximum-security deposit to be collected by the landlord cannot be more than one and one-half times one month’s rent ( N.J.S.A. 46:8-21.2 ). It can be less. Any additional yearly security deposit increase may not exceed 10% of the current security deposit. A landlord may not charge a pet security deposit if it exceeds one and one-half times one month’s rent when combined with the regular security deposit. In the case of Brownstone Arms v. Asher, 121 N.J. Super. 401 13 (1972), and Reilly v. Weiss, 406 N.J. Super. 71 (2009), the courts determined that advanced rents in excess of one and one-half times the monthly re

Any person who unlawfully uses security deposit monies may be c riminally charged as a disorderly person and may be subject to a fine of not less than $200 or imprisonment for not more than 30 days, or both (N.J.S.A. 46:8-25). Discrimination Under State and federal laws, it is illegal for a landlord or rental agency to refuse to rent or discriminate in the rental of housing units.
