I've cold called attorneys and have been chewed out about anti equity skimming laws and / or being questioned about my maintaining an RE license or lack thereof.Any help in tracking down an attorney would be appreciated.  

They are, for all intents and purposes, there for life under NJ’s anti-eviction statute.I would love to go in and gut the apartments, which you guessed it, no landlord has done anything to because there is no ability to recoup- so... the cycle will continue.This is another reason you should always be increasing your rent.

What you're suggesting has been done since anti-discrimination laws have been around.

Specifically this law: http://www.kostrolaw.com/NJFamilyIssues/2015/10/08...The Anti-Eviction Act (the Act), N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1 to-61.12 permits the “owner of a building of three residential units or less” to oust a tenant if the owner intends to “personally occupy a unit.”

And the unwavering anti-sex offender protesters (while rightfully so in MANY cases) make no distinction between a pedophile, and an old man that slapped a waitress' rear once in a diner 20 years ago (not condoning, but just pointing out it's a WIDE swath). 

Gotterdammerung: A Very Serious Legal Threat.It alleges that cooperation and compensation is an anti-trust violation that results in consumer harm, and seeks an injunction against forcing home sellers to pay the commissions of the buyer agent.https://notorious-rob.com/2019/03/gotterdammerung-a-very-serious-legal-threat/

A home seller might be able to make a case that it is anti-competitive behavior for a group of licensed sales agents who control an overwhelming majority of the market to come together and agree that they are going to force a seller to agree to pay a commission not only to the agent representing the seller but also to the agent representing the buyer in order for the seller to be able to list his or her house on the MLS system that the agents control, which is also the system that sells the overwhelming majority of houses in the area. 

I understand why someone may double close if their purchase agreement had an anti assignment clause, or they didn't want the other parties to know they were wholesaling the deal. 

With the NJ anti eviction statute they hold all the cards and can drop you with a 30 day notice.

I'm naturally anti-social but have gotten pretty good at sales as most people seem to like me as an individual and I'm extremely educated and experienced in the niche I'm in.
