The municipal courts also play a vital role in the indictable charges that ultimately end up in Superior Court. These charges are filed first in the municipal court, where a determination of probable cause is made, conditions of pretrial release are set, and preliminary arraignments are held. The complaints are then forwarded to the county prosecutor’s office for possible grand jury action. Many indictable charges are downgraded to disorderly persons offenses and are heard in the municipal court. Municipal courts have very limited juvenile jurisdiction such as jurisdiction to handle motor vehicle complaints involving minors and curfew violations. In addition to assessing fines and revoking various privileges, municipal court judges may imprison defendants for up to six months. There are no jury trials in municipal court.

Both parties might be able to work out a settlement as long as they are both present. Settlement is often the best solution. It gives both parties the chance to compromise. In a settlement meeting with trained court staff, each party can get something that they want out of the case. Even if a tenant is facing eviction, the tenant and landlord might be able to work out a plan that will give the tenant more time to move out. If the landlord and tenant agree on a settlement, the court staff will help them submit the correct form to the judge. If the judge approves the settlement, the case is over. The landlord and tenant can move forward according to the settlement terms.

If you are attending to court without a lawyer, you will have to question your witnesses. Prepare any questions you will ask your witnesses in advance., What to expect at the trial:, If the landlord does not attend, the case will be dismissed. This means the case will not proceed. If the tenant does not attend, the case will be marked “Default.” This means the landlord can apply for a judgment against the tenant. If you both come to court, you will be asked to work with trained, neutral court staff to try to settle your case. OR If the landlord and the tenant come to an agreement, the court staff will help complete the right form to finalize the settlement. The judge must review and approve the forms before the court will accept your agreement. If you do not come to an agreement, a judge will hear the case. The judge will either grant or deny a judgment for possession. A judgment for possession is the first step toward eviction. Landlord/Tenant Trial Instructions - Harris Announcement (Appendix XI-S) Read the instructions that the judge will give in court, After the Trial, Unpaid rent:, A tenant cannot be evicted if the full amount of rent is paid. The landlord also can charge for other costs if the judge approves. Even after a judgment of possession is issued by the court, the tenant has three business days to pay the rent and the approved costs to avoid eviction. The landlord cannot refuse the timely offer of full payment by the tenant, by a charitable organization, or by a rental assistance program. The judgment of possession does not entitle the landlord to the outstanding rent. To seek back rent, the landlord must file a claim in the special civil part or small claims section to collect the outstanding rent. Special Civil Court How to file a special civil case for any amount of unpaid rent Small Claims Court How to file a small claims case for amounts $5,000 and under Judgments for Possession and Warrants of Removal If a judgment for possession is entered, the landlord can take steps to have the tenant evicted. After the three business days pass from the date of the judgment for possession, the landlord may request a warrant of removal from the court. If the tenant does not leave the property, a special civil part court officer, not the landlord, will serve the tenant(s) with a warrant of removal. Residential tenants have three business days to leave the property after they are served with a warrant of removal. If they do not leave, the landlord can ask the court officer to evict them. The special civil part officer will carry out the warrant of removal unless the tenant pays everything in full. The residential tenant can also pay the landlord everything in full up to three business days after an eviction and have their case dismissed. Unlike residential tenants, business tenants must leave immediately when served with a warrant of removal., Landlords need to submit the following to move towards eviction:, Residential CN Title 12816 Warrant of Removal - Residential - Appendix XI-G (1) 12818 Warrant of Removal - Notice to Tenants - Appendix XI-G (3) 12819 Warrant of Removal - Execution - Appendix XI-G (4) 12836 Request for Residential Warrant of Removal Commercial CN Title 12817 Warrant of Removal - Commercial - Appendix XI-G (2) 12818 Warrant of Removal - Notice to Tenants - Appendix XI-G (3) 12819 Warrant of Removal - Execution - Appendix XI-G (4), After Judgment for Possession, There are still things that a tenant can do after the court date that could delay or prevent an eviction. The tenants must notify their landlord if they decide to pursue any of these actions with the court: Tenants can request an Order for Orderly Removal, How to Apply for an Order for Orderly Removal in a Landlord Tenant Case How To Apply for an Order for Orderly Removal which grants them more time to move out. This could give them up to seven calendar days to move. They can request a hardship stay How to Apply for a Hardship Stay in a Landlord Tenant Case How to Apply for a Hardship Stay . This could stop the eviction for up to six months. Tenants cannot apply for a hardship stay unless they pay all the money they owe to the landlord, plus any costs. If they pay all the money they owe and they are granted a hardship stay, they must still comply with the original lease and pay all of the rent during the stay. Tenants can apply to the court to vacate (cancel) the judgment for possession How to Apply for an Order to Show Cause in a Landlord Tenant Case How to Apply for an Order to Show Cause . This request is not granted often and requires unique legal circumstances. Tenants can ask the court to dismiss the case if they give the landlord all the money that is due within three business days of the judgment of possession or eviction. The court must dismiss the complaint. Tenants can file an Order to Show Cause if the landlord refuses to accept payment from a rental assistance program or charity that has agreed to pay the overdue amount. Tenants should contact the Special Civil Part Office Special Civil Part Office as soon as possible to apply for any of the above., Laws and Legal Research, Key facts:, Residential tenants in New Jersey have certain rights. They cannot be evicted by anyone other than a special civil part officer. The landlord must first file a landlord tenant lawsuit in the special civil part of the Superior Court and get a judgment for possession from the court before an officer can be directed to evict any residential tenant. If the landlord does not have a judgment for possession, and attempts to have the tenant evicted, this is an illegal lockout. If the eviction is not carried out by a special civil part officer, this is also an illegal lockout. Tenants have the right to attend court on the scheduled trial date to defend themselves against a possible eviction. Those cases are heard in the county courthouse where the rental property is located. The judge may send the parties to a trained neutral settlor on the trial date to try to settle the case. Landlord Tenant Laws: There are two New Jersey statutes that apply to eviction cases. The laws differ on when and why a renter can be evicted. See N.J.S.A. 2A:18-53 for commercial tenants (not homes) and for residential properties with no more than two rental units (such as a two-family home, or a three-family home if the landlord also lives in one of the units). N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1 et. seq. applies to all other residential tenants, except for hotels, motels, and seasonal renters. Laws Protecting Tenants Some reasons a landlord might file a complaint in landlord tenant court: In most cases, a landlord must give a tenant a written notice to cease, or stop, their disorderly conduct or other violation. The landlord can only move forward with an eviction if the tenant continues the conduct after receiving the notice to stop. See N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1 for more information. Also, complaints for reasons other than non-payment of rent generally require notice ending the tenancy. These notices must be attached to the complaint at the time of filing. Under federal law, public housing residences require the landlord to send a copy of the complaint and any eviction notice to the Public Housing Authority (“PHA”) on the same day or before the complaint is filed in court. Common Defenses in Eviction Cases There are many ways that tenants can defend themselves in eviction cases. Both tenants and landlords should research these issues in order to prepare for court. Legal Services of New Jersey has a helpful website to get you started. Habitability A rental property must be “habitable,” meaning that people can live in it safely and comfortably. In New Jersey this is also called the Marini Doctrine. Common problems that affect habitability: Lack of hot water or heat Non-working toilet Mold, bed bugs, or rodents Lead paint, broken windows, unfinished floors Broken appliances such as a stove or a refrigerator Unsafe common areas such as a lobby, stairs, or elevator Anything else that makes it hard for a tenant to live there normally A tenant might withhold rent because of a habitability issue. But habitability cannot be used to avoid eviction for a pattern of late rent payments, noise or pet violations, or any other reason the landlord might give for an eviction. To make a habitability defense, a tenant must: Deposit all rent due with the court. Be able to show the court, with photos or other evidence, that some part of the living space is uninhabitable. Be able to show the court that they told the landlord about the problem and gave the landlord a chance to fix it. Be able to show the court that they are not the cause of the issue. If the tenant broke the window, for example, that cannot be the reason for not paying rent. Unregistered Rental Property The property might not be registered as a rental property. If the landlord lives on the property and there are three units or fewer, the property must be registered with the Community Development Authority. If the landlord does not live on the property OR the property includes more than three units, the property must be registered with the Bureau of Housing Inspection. Proof of registration is done through a Registration Statement, which the landlord must file with the complaint. Illegal Tenancy A tenant could argue that the tenancy is illegal. Reasons could include: The property is condemned. There are zoning violations. For example, the property has been divided into more units than it was approved to have. The property violates other laws. For example, it might be in a basement with only one escape route. Abatement The judge could decide to give the tenant an “abatement”, meaning the tenant does not owe the full amount of the rent because of a problem with the property. For example, the tenant is paying for a 2-bedroom apartment but one of the bedrooms has no windows and is not a real room. Section 8 Subsidized Housing A landlord cannot evict a tenant without first telling any public agencies that subsidize the tenant’s rent. The landlord must attach proof of this notice when the eviction complaint is filed with the court. The case could be dismissed if the landlord did not notify the agency about the case. Certain Business Landlords That Require Attorneys Landlords that are corporations, limited liability companies (LLC), or limited partnerships (LLP), are not permitted to file landlord/tenant lawsuits without an attorney. When these business landlords appear in court, they must also have an attorney representing them. Notices Required If Landlord Is Suing for Something Other Than Non-Payment of Rent If the landlord has sued a tenant for a reason other than non-payment of rent, the landlord is required to send the tenant certain notices. The landlord must attach copies of the notices to the complaint before filing with the court. Each notice can have different legal requirements depending on the reason for seeking eviction. Tenants must receive these notices when they are served with the summons and complaint. Payment of All Rent Due by 4:30 p.m. on Trial Date (for Non-Payment of Rent Case Only) The case may be dismissed if the tenant pays to the court by 4:30 p.m. on the scheduled trial date the entire amount of rent due and owing. This includes the court costs (landlord’s filing fees) and any other costs lawfully permitted by the lease agreement. This is only if a landlord has sued on the basis of non-payment of rent only, Pay All Rent up to Three Days After an Eviction (Landlord Must Accept) For residential non-payment of rent cases only, a landlord must accept payment as long as it includes: The total amount of rent due and owing, plus Permissible costs and charges under a valid lease agreement. Total amount must be paid any time up to three business days after an eviction. Payment must be by cashier’s check, money order or cash. No personal checks. A landlord must also accept payment on behalf of a tenant by a charitable organization. After receipt of payment, the landlord must advise the court within two days that the rent due and owing was paid or be subject to a $500 fine. Illegal Evictions How to Apply for the Return of Your Personal Property or to Return to Your Rental Premises (Illegal Lockout Kit) How to File for the Return to Your Rental Premises A landlord cannot evict tenants or remove their belongings from a rental home without first getting a judgment for possession and then a warrant of removal from the court. Only a special civil part officer can perform the eviction on behalf of a landlord. It is illegal for the landlord to force a tenant out by changing the locks, padlocking the doors or by shutting off gas, water or electricity. A landlord also cannot take possession of a tenant’s personal belongings or furniture to try to force them to pay rent. Tenants who have been locked out of their home illegally can file a complaint in the special civil part of Superior Court. In the complaint, the tenant can request to be allowed back into the home. They also can request monetary damages. Security Deposits Maximum security deposit is 1 ½ months’ rent. In New Jersey, a landlord can only charge up to 1½ months’ rent as a security deposit. The landlord requires the security deposit in order to pay for any damage done to the unit or to cover unpaid rent after the tenant leaves. The landlord must deposit the security deposit into an interest-bearing account within 30 days of receiving the money from the tenant. Security deposit must be kept in an interest-bearing bank account. The landlord must notify the tenant in writing, within 30 days of receiving the deposit, the following information: The name of the bank or savings and loan association in which the deposit is made The type of account in which the security deposit is deposited The current rate of interest for that account The amount of such deposit The landlord must send the tenant an updated statement providing the same information on an annual basis, or within 30 days of: Moving the deposit from one depository institution or fund to another Each annual interest payment The transfer or conveyance of ownership or control of the property The interest must be paid or credited to the tenant each year. The landlord must either pay you the amount of the annual interest in cash or must credit the amount of the annual interest toward the payment of rent. The security deposit cannot be touched until the tenant moves out. The landlord cannot deduct any money from a tenant’s security deposit until after the tenant moves out of the home. If the landlord wants to use the security deposit to pay for damage or for unpaid rent, they must notify the tenant in writing within 30 days after eviction or after the tenant moves out of the home. The tenant must provide the landlord with their new address so that the landlord can contact them about their security deposit. If the tenant owes more money than the amount of the security deposit, or if the damage caused by the tenant was beyond normal wear and tear, the landlord can sue the tenant in court for the additional amount. If the tenant believes the landlord kept all or part of the security deposit without good cause, the tenant can sue the landlord for security deposits up to $5,000 in small claims court small claims court . Lawsuits for security deposits greater than $5,000 must be filed as special civil cases. Foreclosures A residential tenant will not be forced to move because the property is in foreclosure if the tenant has a valid lease and is in good standing. The purchase at the sheriff’s sale will take over the building subject to the tenants’ rights. If the property they are renting goes into foreclosure, tenants should receive the Notice to Residential Tenants of Rights During Foreclosure.

They cannot be discriminated against if they qualify for an emotional support animal. Landlords cannot discriminate against tenants based on the lawful source of the money used to pay their rent.

A complaint must be filed with the Office of the Special Civil Part Clerk in the county where the rental premises are located. What Happens on the Day of Trial for Landlord/Tenant? Both the tenant and landlord must come to court at the time and date stated on the summons unless otherwise notified by the court. Bring all evidence and witnesses needed to present your case. If both the landlord and tenant appear, they might first be required to meet with a court approved mediator or settlor in an attempt to settle the case. This person is not a judge and will try to help the landlord and tenant settle their case. If an agreement is reached, agreement or settlement forms are available so that the agreement can be put in writing. It must be reviewed and/or approved by the judge when the tenant has no attorney representing them and it concerns residential property. Both the landlord and tenant will be able to present their case to the judge if they are unable to settle their case. If the judge decides in favor of the tenant, the case will be dismissed. If the judge decides in favor of the landlord, a "judgment for possession" will be granted. A judgment for possession is a court order that allows the landlord, within specific time limits, to have the tenant removed from the property (evicted) by a Special Civil Part Officer. If the landlord fails to appear at the scheduled date and time, the case will be dismissed against the landlord. If the tenant fails to appear at the scheduled date and time, the landlord will obtain a default, which means that the court is deciding in favor of the landlord. After the default, if the landlord files the required certification forms, the landlord will obtain a default judgment for possession. If the landlord's complaint is for non-payment of rent and the tenant offers to pay all the rent due, plus court costs, BEFORE or on the day of the court hearing, the landlord must accept the rent and the case will be dismissed. If the landlord doesn't accept the money, it can be deposited with the Office of the Special Civil Part. The judgment will not get entered and/or it will get dismissed without prejudice and the tenant does not have to move out of the property. If the landlord’s complaint is for non-payment of rent and the residential tenant pays all of the rent due and owing, plus proper costs, within three business days after they are evicted, the landlord must accept and advise the court to dismiss the case with prejudice. The landlord can be subject to a statutory penalty of $500 if they fail to accept full payment, plus any proper court costs, fail to cooperate with a charitable organization or rental assistance program that had committed to pay the tenant’s rent and/or fails to notify the court to dismiss the case with prejudice What Are the Filing Fees? The cost for filing a complaint in the Landlord/Tenant Section is: For one defendant/tenant. $50 For each additional defendant/tenant. $5 Service fee for the lawsuit to be served on the tenants/defendant(s) by the Special Civil Part Officer. $7 If you file by mail, include a check for the filing fees (remember to include the mileage fee). Your check should be made payable the, Treasurer, State of New Jersey, . If you file through the Judiciary Electronic Document Submission (JEDS) system, the filing fees can be paid by credit card or collateral account. There is a 3% credit card processing fee for this service. Be sure to follow the instructions provided on the payment screen. What Happens If the Landlord Obtains a Judgment for Possession? If a landlord obtains a judgment for possession, the landlord can apply to the Special Civil Part Office for a warrant of removal, which permits the landlord to force the tenant to move out of the rental property (eviction). The fee for a warrant of removal is $35 plus the applicable Special Civil Part Officer’s mileage fee. A second mileage fee will also be required to be paid by the landlord to the Special Civil Part Officer directly, if it is necessary for the officer to revisit the residential rental property and execute the same warrant of removal (eviction) that the officer previously served upon the residential tenant. The landlord can contact the Special Civil Part Office staff about the applicable mileage fees. The warrant of removal cannot be issued to a Special Civil Part Officer until the expiration of three (3) business days (not counting the court day) after the judgment for possession is granted. The Special Civil Part Officer must give a residential tenant at least three (3) business days to move all persons and belongings from the property. Again, this date does not include holidays, weekends or the date that the warrant of removal was originally served by the Special Civil Part Officer upon the residential tenant. The Special Civil Part Officer is not required to provide a commercial tenant with any three-business day notice, as the officer can serve the warrant for removal and evict the commercial tenant at the same time. If the residential tenant does not move out after three (3) business days from the date that they were served with the warrant of removal, the landlord must arrange with the Special Civil Part Officer directly to have the residential tenant evicted or locked out. The Special Civil Part Officer will tell the landlord about any other possible fees charged for this eviction, which must be agreed to by the landlord and which cannot be greater than $75; the landlord pays this fee and the second mileage fee to the Special Civil Part Officer directly. The tenant can be restored to the rental unit if they pay all rent and costs due and owing up to three (3) business days after the eviction. Following the eviction, the landlord must allow the tenant to remove personal belongings from the property. If a tenant vacates the rental property but fails to remove their personal belongings, the landlord must still comply with the provisions of the New Jersey Tenant’s Abandoned Property statute. The landlord should consult with an attorney for those requirements. The landlord must apply for the warrant of removal (eviction) within 30 days from the date that the judgment for possession is entered unless the judgment is stopped or stayed (delayed) through a court order or other written agreement signed by the landlord and the tenant. The landlord must have the Special Civil Part Officer execute the warrant of removal (eviction) within 30 days of the warrant’s issuance unless the judgment is temporarily stopped or stayed through a court order or other written agreement signed by the landlord and tenant. What Happens to the Residential Security Deposit? The landlord must place security deposits in an interest-bearing account in a bank or saving and loan association in New Jersey at the time the lease is signed. The landlord must give the tenant written notice of where the money has been deposited within 30 days. If the landlord does not return the security deposit within 30 days from the date the tenant moves out or vacates the property, the tenant can sue to recover double the amount due, plus court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, if any. If the amount is $5000 or less, the tenant can sue in the Small Claims Section of the Special Civil Part Court. If the amount is more than $5,000, the tenant can sue in the Special Civil Part. If the amount is more than $15,000, the tenant must sue in the civil part section of the Law Division. The landlord must notify the tenant, within those 30 days from the date that the tenant vacates the rental property, if the landlord intends to keep some or all of the security deposit to pay unpaid rent and/or to pay for the cost of the repairs, if any. If the amount of any damage caused by a tenant plus any unpaid rent is more than the security deposit, the landlord can sue for the additional money. If a residential building is sold, the seller must turn over each security deposit plus any interest to the buyer and notify each tenant by registered or certified mail. What Can the Tenant do After Judgment for Possession is Entered? If the landlord’s complaint is for non-payment of rent, the residential tenant can pay all the rent due and owing, plus proper costs, up till three business days after they are evicted, and the landlord must send a letter or notice to the court dismissing the case with prejudice. The landlord cannot refuse to accept this timely payment from the tenant. The payment must be in certified funds, money order or cash. The landlord does not have to accept the tenant’s payment by personal check. A tenant can make a timely motion to dismiss with prejudice if the landlord fails to provide the required letter or notice to the Court upon their timely receipt of all rent due and owing, plus proper costs, or if the landlord refused to accept this timely offer of full payment. The landlord can be subject to a statutory penalty of $500 if they fail to accept the full rent due and owing before three business days from the date of the eviction, plus any proper court costs, fail to cooperate with a charitable organization or rental assistance program that had committed to pay the tenant’s rent and/or fails to notify the court to dismiss the case with prejudice. A tenant can ask the court for permission to stay in the property due to special difficulties or hardship that moving out might cause. If permission is granted, the tenant cannot stay in the property for more than six months, and all rent due, and future rent due during this “hardship stay,” must be paid. The tenant can also ask for a more temporary stay by asking the court for an Order for Orderly Removal which is typically no longer than 7 calendar days. Finally, a tenant can file a motion to vacate the underlying judgment for possession but that does not typically stop or stay the eviction process unless otherwise ordered by the court. Any of these requests for relief made by the tenant must be done with notice to the landlord and the first two, Hardship Stay and Orderly Removal, must be made within 10 days from the date of the eviction. The Premises I Am Currently Renting Are Subject to a Pending Foreclosure Action, Will I Be Forced to Move Because of This Foreclosure? A tenant will, NOT, be forced to move because of foreclosure. A residential tenancy is not generally affected by a foreclosure. The fact that the building, in which a tenant is renting goes into foreclosure, does NOT in most instances, affect a bona fide residential tenant in good standing. The purchaser at the sheriff’s sale will take over the building subject to the tenant’s rights. How Do I File a Landlord/Tenant Complaint?

The municipal courts also play a vital role in the indictable charges that ultimately end up in Superior Court. These charges are filed first in the municipal court, where a determination of probable cause is made, conditions of pretrial release are set, and preliminary arraignments are held. The complaints are then forwarded to the county prosecutor’s office for possible grand jury action. Many indictable charges are downgraded to disorderly persons offenses and are heard in the municipal court. Municipal courts have very limited juvenile jurisdiction such as jurisdiction to handle motor vehicle complaints involving minors and curfew violations. In addition to assessing fines and revoking various privileges, municipal court judges may imprison defendants for up to six months. There are no jury trials in municipal court. Questions or comments concerning court operations in any of the municipal courts may be directed to the attention of the Municipal Division Manager or visit the Municipal Court Services Municipal Court within the Superior Court of New Jersey page.
