Questions
Where do landlords file an eviction case in Camden County?
At the Special Civil Part, Landlord/Tenant Section: Camden County Hall of Justice, 101 South 5th Street, Camden, NJ 08103. Phone 856-650-9100 ext. 43250. Call ahead to confirm hours and the filing fee.
Do I need a Notice to Quit for unpaid rent?
Usually not. For non-payment of rent, a New Jersey landlord can generally file the complaint directly. For lease violations, the first step is a Notice to Cease.
Can I change the locks or remove the tenant myself?
No. In New Jersey only a court officer can remove a tenant, after a court judgment. Self-help lockouts are illegal.
