NJ Eviction Process after court date
Hi All,
First post here... So we have been dealing with a tenant who hasn't paid rent in 4 months now, we filed in December for eviction with a lawyer and we had a court date last week. Tenant has signed vacancy agreement saying she will leave the property by mid Feb. But now she is complaining about repairs to the property and random damages that were not brought up at the hearing or before she was sent an eviction hearing date.
Does the tenant have any recourse here, or should I just wait it out till mid-Feb and chances are she is not going to vacate, until she gets locked out?
Main Repairs - slow draining toilet and there was a roof leak in January (due to snow build up).
Just wanted to get thoughts here and what is other peoples experience on this.
