TENANT DOESN'T PICK UP CERTIFIED MAIL WITH NOTICE TO QUIT (NJ)

Guichard Belton
Posted

Just as the title says, I have a tenant I want to evict. 

I contacted a lawyer and he sent out a notice to quit via first class mail(?). 

The letter got here but the tenant never received it and the mailman left a notice which I placed on the tenant's door. 

This tenant is a trouble maker so I doubt he'll go to the post office to receive the letter. What are my options if he doesn't? 

Do I have to start over and send it via a different priority mail that the mailman can scan without the recipient's signature? 

 I'm waiting for my lawyer to reply but in the meantime could you guys give me your advice? 

Also, I'm not the brightest bulb in the light fixture so can you explain this to me like I'm 5 lol.
