“In New Jersey, the only way tenants can be evicted from their rental premises is if a judge permits the eviction after a lawsuit has been decided in favor of the landlord. A landlord cannot evict a tenant or remove a tenant’s belongings from a rental premises without first obtaining a judgment for possession and a warrant of removal. Arrangements must be made with the court officer assigned to the case to evict the tenant. It is illegal for a landlord to force a tenant out by refusing access, shutting off utilities, changing the locks or padlocking the premises. A landlord also cannot take possession of a tenant’s personal belongings or furniture in an attempt to force the tenant to pay rent.
If a landlord illegally evicts a tenant from the tenant’s rental premises, the tenant can file a complaint and order to show cause in the Special Civil Part and be put back in the rental premises by the judge.”
