Under New Jersey's eviction moratorium, landlords can still jump-start the eviction process and be ready to kick out non-paying tenants the day the moratorium ends. Although Gov. Murphy lifted the public health emergency on June 4, 2021, the moratorium on evictions and utility shutoffs are effective until December 31, 2021. As a tenant or home owner you can begin preparing for this process.
