Tenant Landlord Dispute Guidance
Summary
In a landlord-tenant dispute, tenants have rights to their belongings, and landlords must follow proper procedures before disposal. Tenants should review their lease for notice and property clauses, document communications, and consider small claims court for lost belongings. Valuing items involves listing, estimating market value, and considering depreciation. For legal support, tenants can contact Legal Services of New Jersey, the NJ State Bar Association, or the NJ Court Systems Self-Help Center. These resources offer guidance and referrals for free or low-cost legal assistance.Full Conversation

My clients husband reached out to landlord asking for 60 days notice, (she didn’t know) landlord agreed. 3 days later clients husband reached out to say we wouldn’t be returning to collect their belongings. Clients wife saw and immediately emailed landlord saying the complete opposite (she never got a reply back from landlord) 2 days later couple returne back to the apartment with plans to collect their belongings thinking landlord hasn’t disposed of it yet, when they returned everything was gone. Clients haven’t paid July’s rent Becuse wife is against it due to landlords not getting her consent throughout this whole process and the removal of their belongings. She wants to sue but doesn’t know where to start, landlord is now threatening summons and collections if this months rent isn’t paid July (they paid June) who is in the right here?
In situations like this, both parties have certain rights and responsibilities:
- Tenant Rights: The tenant has a right to their belongings, and the landlord typically cannot dispose of them without proper notice or permission.
- Landlord Rights: The landlord can enforce the lease terms, including collecting rent.
It's advisable for your client to:
*. Review the lease agreement for any clauses related to notice and belongings.
*. Document all communications with the landlord.
*. Consider consulting a local attorney specializing in tenant-landlord disputes for personalized legal advice.
If your client wants to proceed with legal action, they may consider filing a claim in small claims court for the value of the belongings. Would your client like more assistance on connecting with a local attorney?
