The coalition of tenant advocates, including Seton Hall and Rutgers Law Schools, released a report highlighting major issues in New Jersey's eviction process. Their findings reveal that up to 29,000 tenants annually face eviction judgments without proper jurisdiction, with deficiencies in 69% of cases reviewed. The coalition urges the New Jersey Supreme Court to mandate stricter reviews of eviction complaints to prevent wrongful evictions and ensure fair trials for tenants.
