New Jersey eviction help
Can anyone suggest an attorney they've used in the past for NJ evictions during covid? I have a non-cooperative tenant who hasn't been paying since June of 2020. My property management, lawyer has tried to approach them but they just get a mouthful of getting cursed out. I've also had the property listed for sale a few months ago, the tenant refuses to let potential buyers/investors view property and won't leave property if i were to sell it sight unseen.
I have also tried cash for keys to no avail. My lawyer has filed an eviction a few months ago and requested a trial but he says I have to wait this out until state moratorium and court backlog ends. I don't know if this is lack of experience on my lawyer's side but is there anything else I can do?
Appreciate any legal referrals or general suggestions!
