The Law Office of Michael D. Mirne, LLC provides representation in both commercial and residential tenancies in most of Northeastern New Jersey including, Monmouth, Ocean, Middlesex, Hudson, Union, Passaic, Essex, and Sussex counties. Our client base includes many large real estate management companies, as well as some smaller landlords who are just entering the business.
New Jersey’s shortage of residential housing has led to a great deal of legislation focused on hindering the eviction process. In short, a landlord seeking to evict a residential tenant for reasons other that non-payment of rent will need to overcome several procedural hurdles. New Jersey’s Anti-eviction statute provides that a residential tenant may not be evicted except for cause. Causes for eviction can range from a variety of reasons such as non-payment of rent, substantial lease violations, and certain enumerated criminal offenses. Most reasons for termination require that a set of notices be served upon the tenant prior to the filing of an action in tenancy court. Our firm will serve all necessary notices, represent your interests in Court and, if necessary, will arrange for the lockout of tenants.
Our firm also provides assistance to landlords in the drafting of custom residential and commercial leases. Many of the problems Landlords face in the eviction process can be avoided through careful lease drafting. Utilizing a "what could go wrong approach", we draft and review lease agreements with an eye toward preventing litigation in the future. Sometimes, litigation is unavoidable. In those situations, a clear and concise contract will only serve to benefit our clients. We will also provide advice on complex tenancy issues such as Section 8 agreements and The Rent Security Deposit Act.
