NJ Personal Property Provisions
Monday, 28 January 2002

Please see the following regarding removal of personal property in NJ. Each servicer is should seek the advice of its counsel before taking any specific action on this or any other legal issue.

New Jersey has some provisions that may provide some guidance on when personal property can be removed from a premise. These are landlord/tenant rules which indicate generally that a landlord may dispose of personal property left upon a premises after providing the tenant with notice as required if the landlord reasonably believes under all the circumstance that the tenant has left the property with no intention of asserting any further claim to the premises or the property and:

1. A warrant for removal has been executed and possession of the premises has been restored to the landlord; or
2. The tenant has given written notice that he or she is voluntarily relinquishing possession of the premises.

For personal property left on a commercial property, the landlord must follow the lease terms regarding disposal of property abandoned by the tenant.
