Q: My tenant that hasn't paid the rent for the last month of his lease. What type of notice do I send him?
I have already sent him a Notice to Cease 2/12/19 & a Notice of Non-Renewal on 8/16/19. I am concerned that if i send him a 30 Day Notice to Quit the whole process will take an additional month and a half to remove him from the property.
A:
Has your tenant moved out of the property?
For a non-payment of rent issue, you do not have to wait. The state of New Jersey does not require legal notice or an allotted time period of waiting prior to filing a summons and complaint with the NJ Courts for Non-Payment of rent. If your tenant has already moved out of the property, you will have to take the tenant to civil court for the back due and owing rent amount. My firm offers a free in office consultation for your case. Feel free to contact me at anytime!
