NJ LANDLORD LEGAL CONSULTATION

New Jersey landlord-tenant law is tenant-protective at every stage — the grounds required to remove a tenant, the notices that must precede any court action, security deposit obligations, habitability complaints, and what you can legally do when a tenant leaves property behind. A 30-minute consultation with Michael J. Jurista, Esq. gives you the legal framework for your specific situation and a clear path forward — before a misstep becomes expensive to undo.

When a Consultation Makes Sense

• You want to remove a tenant for a reason other than non-payment — and you are not sure what grounds apply or what notice is required before you can proceed
• A tenant has sent written notice claiming habitability issues or asserting the right to withhold or reduce rent
• You served a notice and want to confirm it was legally sufficient before filing in court
• A security deposit dispute — proper holding requirements, permissible deductions, return deadlines, or a demand letter from a tenant
• A tenant was evicted or vacated and left personal property behind — you want to know how to handle it without legal exposure
• You have a lease question, a compliance concern, or a situation that does not fit one of the flat-fee services

What Is Included

• 30-minute one-on-one video conference with Michael J. Jurista, Esq.
• Discussion of your specific facts, applicable legal framework, and options
• Practical strategy and recommended next steps
• Documents can be submitted in advance — note this in your booking submission (advance review requires additional consultation time)

How This Works

The consultation is a limited-scope engagement for legal advice only. It does not include document drafting, court filings, or ongoing representation — no attorney-client relationship continues after the session unless a separate written retainer is signed by both you and the firm. Advice is based on the facts and documents you present during the session. If your situation is more complex than a single session can properly address, Michael will tell you that directly and explain what full representation would involve.

Not Sure If This Is What You Need?

If your matter is a Somerset County residential non-payment eviction, see the flat-fee eviction service. If you need a residential lease drafted, see the lease drafting service. Not sure where your matter fits? Submit a free inquiry — Michael reviews personally and responds.
