My question involves an eviction in the state of: New Jersey
Hi,
I have a roommate who wont pay rent and wont leave, now he also have a girlfriend who has started living with him in the room. When i rented him the room i made him sign a very simple lease that just mentions that he has to pay rent monthly. The lease did not mention anything about the utilities and and anything else, but we verbally agreed that we split the utilities and internet.
I don't want to go to court because i am scared that it will show up on my record that i had filed an eviction proceeding. Since he has not paid me any utilities bill and the money for the internet and is still refusing to pay, I was wondering that can i change the password on the internet so that he can not access it and if i do that will I be doing anything illegal can he drag me to court for doing that. he is not contributing at all? Please help. This situation is really bothering me. By doing this atleast his girlfriend will leave who does nothing and sits at the apartment all the time watching movies on net and playing music. Please help
