NJ Lease Renewal Question

Sandy S.
Posted

According to this document (https://www.state.nj.us/dca/divisions/codes/public...), it states:

---

A landlord must allow the tenant to renew the lease unless the landlord has good cause for an eviction under the Anti-Eviction Act. (This does not apply to two or three-family owner occupied dwellings, motels, hotels, transients or seasonal tenants). Yearly and month-to-month leases will automatically renew for another term unless a valid notice to quit is given by the landlord or unless the tenant gives notice to the landlord that the tenant will return possession of the premises to the landlord. 

If the tenant or landlord does not renew the lease and the lease was for a term of more than one month and the tenant holds over (stays after the expiration of the lease), the tenancy will become a month-to-month tenancy, if the landlord continues to accept the rent and there is no other agreement between the landlord and the tenant. SDG v. Inventory Control, 178 N.J. Super. 411. This tenancy is still subject to all the terms and conditions of the written lease other than its duration term. Heyman v. Bishop, 15 N.J. Super. 266.

My situation is in bold.  I accepted rent, but the tenant did not pay the full rent amount.  What are my options now?
