New Jersey Eviction Laws: 3-Day Notice to Quit

Use a 3-day notice to quit if a Tenant:

  • Engages in disorderly conduct that’s disruptive to neighbors or other Tenants
  • Intentionally damages the property or damages the property by being grossly negligent

BEFORE issuing a 3-day notice to quit, Landlords must issue a New Jersey Notice to Cease. If the Tenant fails to comply with the Notice to Cease, issue the 3-day notice. The 3-day notice should:

  • Describe the Tenant’s Lease violation(s)
  • Notify the Tenant of the date by which the Tenant must vacate the property
  • Advise the Tenant that failure to comply will lead to eviction proceedings against them
    • Customize this form to comply with New Jersey eviction requirements. This is a necessary first step in the eviction process.
