What New Jersey law says

Lease Agreements

New Jersey caps security deposits at 1.5 months' rent (N.J.S.A. 46:8-19), requires annual interest payments to the tenant, and generally requires return within 30 days.

Eviction Notices

New Jersey's Anti-Eviction Act provides some of the strongest statewide "just cause" eviction protections in the country — a landlord generally needs a specific statutory reason to remove a tenant.

Worker Classification

New Jersey uses the strict "ABC test" for unemployment insurance purposes (N.J.S.A. 43:21-19) — similar in strictness to California, and a common source of independent contractor misclassification disputes.

Wills & Estates

New Jersey requires two witnesses for a valid will, and a self-proving affidavit is strongly recommended to simplify probate.

Laws change frequently, so always consult a licensed local attorney before executing a legal document.
