FAQ
A landlord cannot evict tenants or remove their belongings from a rental home without first getting a judgment for possession and then a warrant of removal from the court. Only a special civil part officer can perform the eviction on behalf of a landlord.
Tenants have several valid reasons to file complaints against their landlords when their rights and well-being are at risk. These instances include rent-related issues, maintenance and repair problems, lease agreement violations, discrimination, harassment, and security deposit disputes.
The landlords must give the tenant at least 3 days' notice. They have no choice. The tenant must leave the premises before the end of the notice period to avoid eviction. Landlords may continue with the eviction process if the tenant refuses to leave after the 3 days' notice.
