    Default Can the police arrest me for renting a room out with no documented contract or lease?

    I have a roommate that I am trying to evict out of my house in NJ for being 2 month late in rent. I was being nice by trying to give him an other week to move out on his own will because he asked me nicely. This is after the fact that I already gave him a 2 weeks notice already. Well bottom line he didn't move out and I have to wait to Monday to file the eviction proocess in court. In the meantime the room that I rent to him has the main cable line that runs the internet. He keeps on turning the cable off and lock the door to piss me off. I call the police and explain my situation to them. They told him to stop but after they leave he starts up again. Once again I call the police and the police came and treaten to arrest me for renting him the room and him for renting the room with out a lease or contract. Is that Possible? Is there a law that states u can't rent a room out without a contract or lease? Please help. I can't live without my internet.

    A: The police are tired of you and your roommate. There is no such law.

    The police are tired of being called out to resolve petty issues between you and your tenant. Renting premises without a permit may be an ordinance violation in your community.
