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 - Wed Nov 4 2009, 06:59
