Evicting tenant who's made partial payments. Do I need to give them 30 day notice?

[Steve R.]

Hello,

I have a tenant that has made partial payments in the last 3 months and I want to begin the eviction process. Law websites like nolo and others have said if the tenant in NJ has made partial payments then you have to give them 30-day notice before you begin the eviction process. I've spoken to a few local attorneys and they have never heard of that. Anyone know what the law is in New Jersey?

I wanted to begin the eviction process ASAP but don't want to wait a month for a court date and find out that it was done incorrectly.

thanks for any input
