I guess the first question is where you be evicted for? Is it nonpayment? If it is you can raise the habitability issue. To do that you need to have the money owed available to post with the clerk of court. You would raise that issue at trial. As far as lack of communication is concerned, do you... View More

I guess the first question is how long have you lived there? If what you're saying is true, and you been living there for a while, it may be worthwhile to sue your landlord for damages or overbilling you on the electricity.

No. I would suggest the failure to provide heat this time of year to constructive eviction and is illegal in New Jersey.

You would need to file an ejectment action. Ejectment is the remedy that you use where you have someone trespassing on your property. Since your son is 33 years old, he should be out on his own. Your obligation to support him ended when he turned 18. He needs to be given formal notice that he has... View More

The problem you have is that under its terms the Anti-Eviction Act (AEA) does not apply to buildings which are 1) 3 units or less and 2) owner-occupied. When your new landlord moved into the building he removed your tenancy from the protections of the AEA. In that circumstance, the provisions of... View More

I don't understand the point of the question. While my colleague Mr. Gelb is correct, you can't make the landlord promise not to evict you, assuming that you are covered under New Jersey's anti-eviction act, you can't be evicted unless you violate 1 of 17 different restrictions.... View More

The answer to your question depends on the interest that you will be getting in the new deed that your father is preparing.
