Landlord Tenant Law

As a landlord, you take a risk every time you find a new tenant.  Most of the time, you do not know the person or people who will be renting your property.

New Jersey’s Anti-Eviction Act, which covers most residential tenants, provides the grounds to evict a tenant (i.e. non-payment of rent, material violations of the lease, intentional damages to the property).  As experience has shown, the landlord tenant laws and courts in New Jersey tend to favor keeping a tenant in home.  At Semer Law Firm, we take time to help you prepare for challenges that may arise before, during, and after any tenancy. We help to ensure that you comply with all local, state, and federal laws and assist you in drafting and reviewing lease agreements.  If something goes wrong, we help you prepare notices to tenants, and if necessary, represent you in Landlord-Tenant Court.
