FILING A COMPLAINT FOR EVICTION Both the landlord and the tenant must come to the court hearing. If the landlord or his attorney does not come the complaint may be dismissed. If the tenant does not come, a default judgment may be entered against the tenant allowing the landlord to evict the tenant from the premises.
By law, a landlord must obtain a tenant's consent to enter the dwelling unit except in the event of an emergency. The law prohibits tenants from unreasonably withholding consent.
You may be able to stop this warrant and remain in the property if you apply to the Special Civil Part Court for relief. You may apply for relief by delivering a written request to the Office of the Special Civil Part and to the landlord or landlord's attorney.
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.
