Evictions in New Jersey - What is the Status?

[James Chung]

Hi

I have a commercial strip mall located in New Jersey, and one of my tenants is about 7 months behind in rent.  We filed for eviction, but the marshall has still not (it's been almost 3 weeks) notified the tenant.  I know the eviction moratorium is over, but I was wondering if anyone has had success in NJ evicting non-paying tenants.

My tenant recently started to pay rent but he still owes a ton of money.  My attorney has advised us to not deposit the rent checks from this tenant until the tenant is evicted.

Does anyone have any similar experiences or advice?

Thanks,

James
