Hudson County NJ Eviction Attorney

[Sant S.]

Hey Everyone,

Can any of you local Hudson County NJ RE investors recommend a eviction attorney?

One of the units in my 6 family is withholding rent this month over claims repairs have not been addressed, but the tenant at the same time is refusing access to the apartment unless they are home/present.  Getting their schedule to align with many different repairmen has caused the repair to get constantly rescheduled and/or repairman disengaging because of their headache.  

Now the tenant has stated they are withholding August until repair is complete (which got rescheduled again yesterday due to them not allowing access).

@Sant S. I don't have an eviction attorney for Hudson County, but you should familiarize yourself with the "Truth in Renting" document (http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/codes/publications...) and NJ Community Affairs website (http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/codes/offices/land...). From what I recall, you're supposed to be able to enter a property once you have provided a "reasonable" notification period (24 hours in most cases), so their schedule should be irrelevant to getting a repair completed, assuming you have a key to the unit and you're going to accompany the repairman. Also, document everything, even if you think it's insignificant.   

Good luck.
