New Jersey
It sounds like you're dealing with a noisy neighbor who's been given notice to quit but hasn't left. Is that correct? Are you the landlord or a fellow tenant in this situation?
Yes
Under New Jersey law, landlords must follow certain steps to evict a tenant:
- Provide written notice to the tenant.
- If the tenant doesn't comply, file a complaint in the Special Civil Part Court.
- Obtain a judgment for possession.
As a fellow tenant, you can't directly evict, but can report disturbances to both landlord and local law enforcement.
I've done that already
It sounds like you've done everything you can so far. You might want to consider seeking legal counsel for further advice. If the noise continues, document it and report to management regularly. Keep all communication in writing for records.
