They need to give 60 days notice and it has to be in writing. Anyone occupying an apartment without a lease has to be given 60 days written notice and preferably certified mail and only after the 60 days the landlord can proceed with eviction. That is my understanding I am not an attorney but I have had several cases like that in Bergen, Hudson and Passaic Counties. Many times family and friends move into apartments and have no leases but they still need the 60 days notice. Feel free to e-mail me at mia@villonrealty.com

Hi - you should check your lease to see if there are any termination clauses. It is possible that your lease renews automatically on either a month-to-month basis or for a year's time. I suggest you contact a lawyer to be certain.

I have a 2 bedroom for rent in Saddle Brook on the second floor in a 2 family house. They are asking 1100. It has fresh paint and new carpets. all very nice size rooms and a great block. otherwise, if this doesn't meet your requirements, I can help you find something that does.

Good luck!

You will need to check with your State's landlord/tenant laws. Here in Texas, a landlord or tenant need to provide at least 30 days notice to move out. This should also be specified on your rental lease, if you signed one. After the determinate time, the landlord has the right to file an 'eviction notice' at the county courthouse. The courthouse will send you a certified notice to appear in court. If you don't appear the judgment will be granted to the landlord. Then the landlord will file a 'writ of possession' to obtain legal possession of the property (if the tenant refuses to move out).
