Neighbor hasn't vacated apartment on notice to quit. Still making noise and management doesn't know when a court date will be to evict het
I understand your situation. Could you please provide your location so I can give you more specific advice on this issue?
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.
So will it be guaranteed she's being kicked out?
While eviction processes are generally effective, no guarantee can be made for individual cases. It depends on various factors including court rulings. Keep documenting issues and reporting them.

The court process can take several weeks to months depending on the caseload and the complexity of the case. It's important to keep documenting and reporting disturbances to strengthen your case. Consider seeking legal advice if the situation persists.
