Legal question regarding occupied property?

[Mayer M.]

Hey guys, Hopefully someone can help me with this. I bought a foreclosure and apparently there is a tenant inside the property who hasn’t paid rent in quite some time. I’m unable to reach the tenant via phone or email and I want to access the property to get a certificate of occupancy and to document the condition of the property. Can I just go there with the police and if no one answers the door bust it open? How should I go about obtaining access? The property is in Glouster County New Jersey. Thanks!

@Mayer M. Thanks for raising this issue. I'm hoping to purchase auction properties in Gloucester County that are listed as occupied. Would you mind giving an update with what you had to do?

And if you end up kicking in the door, please video for me.
