Tenants' Rights in New Jersey Chapter Index

 
Following is the Web version of Tenants' Rights in New Jersey, Legal Services of New Jersey’s guide to landlord-tenant law for New Jersey residents. The manual includes chapters on finding a place to live, security deposits, leases, rent increases, the responsibilities of landlords and tenants, legal and illegal evictions, condo and co-op conversions, and the right to safe and decent housing. The printed edition is currently unavailable. Because of deep funding cutbacks, we are uncertain whether we will be able to offer printed copies in the future. Please check the LSNJ.org publications page for updated ordering information.

This manual may also be viewed as a PDF file in English.
