New Jersey Landlord Bundle: 3 Kits in One Download (New Jersey Landlord Kit, New Jersey Small Claims Kit, Eviction Case File Organizer)

Who it is for

Landlords and property managers with rentals in New Jersey: the state's rules, a small claims case for unpaid rent or damage, and an eviction case file if it comes to that.

Not the right fit if

Your rentals aren't in New Jersey, or you only need one of the kits. Not a property management or legal service.

Why it is different

• 3 kits for 30% less than buying them one by one; each keeps its own folder in the download.
• The New Jersey kits are built only from our New Jersey data files: New Jersey data files, checked November 2026 against 8 official pages, among them NJ Department of Community Affairs: Truth in Renting guide; New Jersey Department of Community Affairs: N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1, Anti-Eviction Act grounds for removal; New Jersey Legislature: N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.2 (required notice); New Jersey Courts: Information for Residential Tenants (CN 10288, rev. 06/2024); New Jersey Courts: Landlord Tenant Frequently Asked Questions (CN 11483); New Jersey Courts: Appendix XI-G(1) Residential Warrant of Removal (CN 12816); New Jersey small claims data file, checked November 2026 against New Jersey Courts: Small Claims FAQ (CN 11482, rev. 07/01/2022).
