If you want to evict a tenant for non-payment of rent in New Jersey, you do not need to give the tenant any notice. However, if the tenant has habitually paid rent late in the past and you have accepted this, you must give the tenant at least 30 days’ notice before starting an eviction action. You must also give the tenant a separate notice if the eviction is for something other than nonpayment of rent. The length of the notice depends on the reason for the eviction.
