Sample letter?

Question

Where can I find a sample letter to get tenant out of a property I am selling? The tenant is on a month to month lease and the buyer wants his apartment. Closing is the first week in May so we need to move fast.

@Claudia Fernandez Wow, I just did some research on NJ law.  You can't evict a tenant in New Jersey, except for cause, unless it's owner-occupied and no more than 3 units, if I read it correctly.  However, if the owner wants to move in, that's acceptable, but you must give them 60 days notice, and file eviction suit:

I got tired of trying to figure it out LOL.  Here's some info.  I think you need to call the court clerk to figure out what to do.

Or try offering the tenant cash for keys.

I'm sorry I meant first week of June.

@Claudia Fernandez It looks like you can't give notice to the current tenant to move out, since you won't intend to move into the unit as an owner.  So, the new owner would have to deal with it.  You'll have to negotiate with the new owner knowing these facts.  It will be the new owner having to say that they intend to occupy the unit, in order to evict them.

How many days notice do you need to give?  Also, be sure to do the move-out properly.  Do you need to do a move-out inspection, etc.?

Is the property in New Jersey?

If it works out that way then we will have to do that. But I need a letter before anything else to let them know.

60 days & First week in May don't really agree. I would offer cash for keys.

Claudia Fernandez · Answer

the tenants are pretty reasonable but I would like a prof letter to give them stating they need to leave in 60 days due to the sale of the house just to protect myself. The house is still under attorney review and should go under contract by tomorrow.
