New Jersey Notice to Cease

New Jersey Eviction Laws: Notice to Cease

Under New Jersey Law (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1), a Notice to Ceases is a required first step in the eviction process when a Tenant:

• Engages in disorderly conduct that is disruptive to neighbors or other Tenants
• Violates one or more stated rules or regulations
• Violates the Lease Agreement for reasons other than non-payment of rent

Landlords serve the Notice to Cease to warn Tenants that they must cease or remedy the Lease violation or face eviction proceedings.

If a Tenant fails to comply with the Notice to Cease, Landlords may issue:

• New Jersey 3-Day Notice to Quit: For Tenants who engage in disorderly conduct that is disruptive to neighbors or if a Tenant is damaging the rental property through intentional or grossly negligent behavior.
• New Jersey 30-Day Notice to Quit for Non-compliance: For Tenants who violate the Lease Agreement for reasons other than non-payment of rent.
