Typically in a landlord tenant residential there are violations for the habitability of the property, from the tenants perspective where the tenant maintains that the landlord is not keeping the premises in the proper condition. In those circumstances the tenant can take action to enforce the landlord to either make repairs or conduct a, you know, investigations of things that are happening on the property that may not be fit for the tenants purposes. In those circumstances the tenant would have rights to be able to force the landlord to to address these items, the laws of New Jersey favor the tenants to a very high degree. It’s the primary reason why I think lawyers should be involved in recognition of that, because it’s a residential tenancy the courts in New Jersey seem to favor, because the tenancies are usually these people’s primary residences, and as a result they take, you know, residents very seriously, and to remove somebody from their personal residences it meets a high standard in New Jersey.
