Can I give a notice to vacate to MTM tenant that has no existing lease in NJ without a just cause? Or do I need to show just cause if it ends up in the courts?

Well, that's a valid reason! Propose a new lease that says that no more than 3 unrelated people maximum can occupy the residence. That the property is subject to bi-monthly compliance inspections upon 24 hour notice, or something like that. You can also raise the rent. Provide them with the new lease and require them to sign. If they won't, you have grounds to evict them upon 30 days notice. If you want them out... there's always a "reason".

This is a property I recently purchased (last week) with existing tenants. They are MTM with no written lease and no security deposit. Why I want them out? Its a 3 bedroom with one person identified as living there meanwhile last visit I saw around 8 people living there. Would say they have been subletting in the past and who knows how many people been staying there.

First download the landlord tenant laws for your state,,
Second I would give written proper notice of Non-renewal of lease that includes the notice to vacate by the end of the month so if you gave it now before BY June 29th, that would mean they would be out July 31.. and it would be proper notice,,I would mail a copy USPS, and Put a copy on the entry door, tape it right over the lock so you can tell it has been removed.
A landlord does not have to give a reason for non-renewal.. just as a tenant does not have to give reason to non renew. A reason for cause is usually listed if landlord files for eviction during a lease period such as non-payment of rent, violation of lease - violence, drug use, unauthorized occupants etc..
If they fail to vacate after the 31st of July ,, Then you file for eviction action,, Failure to vacate after non-renewal..
