Legal Support for Landlords and Tenants
At Kates Nussman Rapone Ellis & Farhi, LLP, our New Jersey landlord/tenant lawyers offer personal, prompt and aggressive representation to landlords and tenants in proceedings involving eviction, failure to pay rent, wilful destruction of property, constructive eviction, rent abatements, lease violations and other landlord/tenant issues. If you are involved in a landlord/tenant dispute, turn to a law firm that has been a fixture in northern New Jersey for nearly 100 years.
We have extensive experience in county landlord/tenant courts across the state, and can help you maneuver the system while simultaneously explaining each step of the process.
Representing Commercial and Residential Landlords
Our attorneys are highly knowledgeable and experienced in the filing and prosecuting of eviction and dispossession proceedings involving both commercial and residential real estate. Actions for eviction are governed by specific rules and regulations that vary dramatically depending on the basis of your claim and characterization of your tenant as commercial or residential. These rules must be closely followed to facilitate a legally enforceable eviction. Our attorneys use our knowledge of these rules in each and every case, working aggressively to ensure enforcement of landlords' rights and protection of their interests and assets.
Under New Jersey law, evicting a tenant is a separate and distinct action from collecting overdue rent. Our attorneys regularly file both types of these claims and can help you through both of the respective processes to assist you in regaining control of the premises as well as debts owed.
Defending Tenants in Eviction Proceedings
The prospect of losing your apartment or office space can be frightening. Our attorneys can assist you in facilitating possible settlements to allow you to retain possession, or defend you in cases of landlord negligence or indifference, which should rightfully result in an abatement of rents owed. Our attorneys will work with you to review your situation, help you fully understand your options and, if need be, fight for your rights in an eviction proceeding. We have experience defending tenants in actions involving commercial and residential rental properties, including low-income housing.
