Landlord tenant court

Hi. Has anyone had to evict post-moratorium? How has it been for you with the tremendous backlog in essex county court? I am having a nightmare with a tenant during these unprecedented times. I have no clue when they'll call our case

Also try offering the person cash for keys. May be cheaper in long run even though it drives landlords nuts to have to pay someone not paying to leave

Not sure why this topic doesn’t come up more…
Essex is backed up about 4 month.
I would certainly hire an attorney to file the complaint. (They seem to jump the line) at least I know that’s the case in Passaic County.
If ERAP is an option I would look into that.

How do you know Essex is backed up only 4 months? I’m waiting longer than that, nightmare getting a court date for non-payers.

Wow - sorry for that fake news! At that time it was more like 14 months. That was Passaic county (source from a housing person and an attorney) An Essex county attorney said Essex is about the same. I was also told if you try to evict without getting funds it can be just a few months.

Can you please explain what you mean by that ? I filled 6 month's ago, and nothing doing at all
is there anyway of getting a quicker court date?
