When can I be evicted from my condo unit?

In New Jersey, a condo unit owner can be evicted from their unit in two scenarios: 1) nonpayment of condominium fees, and 2) a breach of the condominium bylaws. In the case of nonpayment of fees, the Condo Association (which owns and is responsible for the upkeep of the common area in which the units are located) must first serve the unit owner with a notice of their delinquency. The unit owner will then have a specific period of time to pay the past due fees or face eviction proceedings. In the case of a breach of the condo bylaws, the Condo Association must first serve the unit owner with a written notice of the violation and the unit owner must have a period of time to cure the violation. If the violation is not cured within the specific time period, the Condo Association may proceed with eviction proceedings. Depending on the severity of the violation, the Condo Association may or may not be able to immediately proceed with eviction. It is important to note that the unit owner has the right to contest the eviction in court proceedings. However, if the court finds that the unit owner did not pay their condominium fees or violated the bylaws, then it is very likely that the eviction will be granted.
