Q: What is the tenants abandoned property timeline in NJ?
in NJ, my tenant was issued a "warrant of removal" and now has 33 days to vacate the property or the tenants belongings would be considered abandoned. How many times within the 33 days do I have to let them have entry?
A: In New Jersey, if a tenant abandons property after vacating or eviction, landlords must give written notice describing the property and allow the tenant 33 days to claim it. During this time, the landlord should provide reasonable access for the tenant to retrieve their belongings. If the tenant doesn't claim within 33 days, the landlord can sell or dispose of the items.
