A landlord in New Jersey is subject to some of the strictest laws in the U.S. Landlord/tenant laws regulate everything from notice requirements to security deposits to zoning and code compliance.

Problems often arise for landlords when:

• A tenant fails to pay rent that is due and owing
• A tenant is involved in conduct that affects the peace and quiet of other tenants
• A tenant destroys or damages the property
• A tenant routinely pays rent late

At The Cintron Firm, we work to determine what grounds landlords may have to evict a problem tenant. We also work to do it as soon as possible to reduce the costs for you.

We recognize that problems arise for tenants as well. For example, we assist tenants in the following areas:

• Obtaining compensation for a tenant that was rented an illegal apartment
• Return of their security deposit when a landlord withholds it
• Breaking a lease as a result of bad living conditions
• The need to move due to the death or serious illness of the tenant or spouse

The attorneys at The Cintron Firm will work with tenants to determine their best strategy and best options. In many cases, there are defenses available to tenants in response to a complaint for eviction. In other cases, where tenants need to break a lease for their own personal reasons, we work to try to minimize the cost of breaking the lease for the tenant.
