Attorney Fees for Eviction

[Gurpal Cheema]

Are attorney fees refundable for eviction if the tenant moves out or pays rent before the court date? I'm in New Jersey (very tenant friendly state) where you have to file an eviction through an attorney if the property is owned under business name. On top the attorney fees are very high. I paid $650 for filing and court appearance, our court date is 24th of this month but my tenant just told me he's moving out before the 18th. Should I ask for some sort of refund since we will not have to go to court?
