S 3093 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes expedited ejectment proceeding to remove certain unauthorized real property occupants.

S 3093 creates a faster court process for property owners to remove unauthorized occupants who have never been tenants, never paid rent, and lack any legal right to the property. Property owners must file a verified complaint with specific certifications (e.g., no prior lease, no rent payments), and courts must schedule a hearing within five business days. If the court confirms the owner's claims, it issues a writ of possession for immediate removal, and the owner may seek triple damages for the unauthorized occupancy. The bill also criminalizes document forgery to circumvent this process.
