Covid-19 has had an impact on everyone including the legal community. Most courts have been closed to the public for 3 months. Some courts, like Union Municipal, will be opening 6/22. Defendants are not permitted inside the court. They are asked to provide an email and cell number and will be invited to the court via a Zoom conference. Less than half of defendants are responding. Landlord/tenant court has been closed and continues to be closed for trials. We are able to file evictions, just not getting court dates. I did receive court dates today for July 31 st. We will see if it gets adjourned again. If you are a landlord or a tenant, there was $100 million allocated to help tenants pay rent in New Jersey. Get those funds before they vanish!
