The classification of your tenancy in New Jersey determines the laws that apply to it. New Jersey separates rental property into two categories. If you are the owner-occupant of a property with fewer than three rentals, you are governed by laws less problematic than other tenancies. All other types of tenancies are subject to the Anti-Eviction Act. For the former type of tenancy, you are allowed to remove tenants without “good cause.” For the latter type of tenancy, you must have “good cause” to evict tenants.
