Housing Resource of the Month: The NJ Eviction Guide
Facing a housing concern? This free New Jersey resource can help you understand your options.
Knowing your rights as a tenant can make a difference when your home is at risk. But understanding eviction notices, court procedures, and your legal options can feel overwhelming.
That’s why we’re highlighting the New Jersey Eviction Guide, a free online tool from the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs.
The guide walks tenants through the eviction process using simple questions and provides information tailored to their circumstances. It can also connect eligible tenants with legal assistance and other resources.
Here’s how to get started:
- Understand the process: Learn about the steps involved in an eviction.
- Explore your options: Find information about your rights and possible defenses.
- Connect with support: Access referrals for legal assistance and other housing resources.
Visit the NJ Eviction Guide to explore the resource.
Remember: An eviction notice does not mean you should give up on your home. If you receive a notice or are worried about losing your housing, don’t ignore it. Seeking guidance early can help you understand your options and determine your next steps.
At The Waterfront Project, we provide free legal assistance and housing counseling to eligible individuals and families in Hudson County and surrounding communities. If you’re facing a housing challenge, contact us to learn more about our services.
