    Default Re: Regarding Tenants

    Depends on the EXACT terms and conditions of your rental agreement.

    NJ is basically a pro-tenant, anti-eviction state so you have to be very careful as to how you approach this.

    1 - Does your lease have a duration: from - to date?

    2 - Does your lease specify that the rental is limited to the two brothers by name and nobody else?

    You may have "rented" to two brothers but, without a specific limitation you might not have sufficient "legal" cause to do anything about the change in occupancy.

    Here are the grounds for removal of a tenant:

    Here's the eviction statute:

    Tenants' Rights Guide:

    The statutes referred to in the guide can be found at:

    You need to know those laws backwards and forwards. Or, you need to hire a lawyer.
