Newton, NJ asked in Animal / Dog Law, Estate Planning and Landlord - Tenant for New Jersey

Q: Had a medical note for dog.Someone new bought the complex I live in and say I cant have him even with note is that legal

I got the note before the new owners arrived and there are many others like me. They say they need to be gone soon even though we have medical reasons to have them. Is that legal for them to do? How can we move in time with a animal? It seems messed up

1 Lawyer Answer

A: Contact the humane society. Many states give some protection. Check also with a tenants rights attorney.
