On Sunday, March 15, 2020, our office published an urgent update regarding some of the recent emergency measures that had been instituted by the New Jersey Judiciary in order to limit the spread of the coronavirus. Our article specifically focused on landlord tenant proceedings, which are usually grouped together by the Court in high volume, with as many as 300 cases being heard on a single date. In light of the recent health risks associated with large groupings of people, the Judiciary had decided, in the interests of caution, to delay all eviction actions, scheduled for dates between March 16 through March 27. As of this time, we have removed that update since we believe there will be more updates coming shortly, with new legislation currently pending. Please check often for more updates, and most importantly, please stay safe.
