Cranford, NJ asked in Real Estate Law for New Jersey

Q: Need Attorney to file eviction for New Jersey LLC?

My property in Hudson county New Jersey is owned by a LLC. I need to evict a tenant for non-payment now. Do I need to hire an attorney to kick off the eviction process? Or can I file the case myself now and then hire attorney only if I actually need to appear in court? Based on my past experience, most tenants will pay rent when they see the notice. Thank you

A: I believe if you read the court rules you will see that they require you to hire a lawyer even to file an eviction.
