My question involves an eviction in the state of: NJ
My eviction of my tenant for non payment of rent is now complete. He claimed he did not receive any court papers, but the court officer who was here told him he served them at his door, so that takes care of that hopefully.
Anyway I get a call from my lawyer stating he went down to the court after being evicted and tried to show a bogus receipt stating that I accepted rent. The receipt was dated 1-30-2008 that he had and said the word “Loan” on it so the judge threw it out.
My lawyer told me to be prepared however if this person tries to file a motion. The motion will probably have to be of a different cause since this bogus receipt thing was just shot down by the judge. Plus the motion would have to be granted by a judge.
Are motions hard to file? Do you need to know basic legal stuff to fill them out? I am wondering b/c the tenant doesn't read or speak English that well and if he tries something I want to be prepared.
My other concern is going to be my bank statements. He has not paid me since Nov 2008. I have been depositing cash into my account almost weekly since mid December for a variety of things. If this gets back into court will I have to prove what each deposit was? I do have a side business in addition to my full time job that I get cash for. I can always have a few letters from customers if needed.
Any advice on this would be appreciated
