Fly By Nite Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 My wife's property has non-paying tenants that are well behind on their payments. We've tried a payment plan with the tenant and it's still not working out. We've realized they're probably not going to ever come up to date on their payments and their rental agreement is up at the end of the month, so makes no sense for them to keep living there- it's actually a monetary loss since my wife's grandma is paying some of the utilities they're using. Given the lease is up and we're in middle of a pandemic, is there anything preventing us from asking them to leave the property (in Union County NJ). when their lease is expired and then try to recoup the money through small claims?

Tom T Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) I thought you couldn't evict anyone during covid? There are some real estate mavens here, maybe they will pipe up but I was just speaking with someone who has the same exact issue. Basically he told the tenant to get out now and he won't come after him for the back rent. My guy's lawyer was shocked that it worked because the tenant could have stayed and there wasn't much my buddy could do.(this was in NJ too) Edited December 3, 2020 by Tom T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabo2005 Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 I am assuming there is a difference between an eviction and having them leave when the lease has expired. I could be totally wrong though. Call your lawyer. Cabo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandflee Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 Pretty sure you can't boot them, thats the sh*t part about renting they can squat there for like a year and it's illegal for you to turn off water and electric My bosses son just moved to a rental in NYC, they are so desperate he got 3 months FREE If you try to change it, you will ruin it.

slicedcornbread Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 2 mins ago, Fly By Nite said: LOL...what a crock. Still would be good to know what others are doing. There should be an opening in the Covid clause that addresses the end of lease situation. I would hope so anyways. That's the part you need to explore and utilize to your advantage. Otherwise they become squatters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either they leave on their own free will or you evict them. By the sounds of it, they want a rent free apartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
