NOTE: Under an Executive Order issued by Governor Murphy, your landlord cannot remove you from your home as a result of an eviction or foreclosure proceeding during this emergency.

If you are at risk of eviction or are concerned about paying rent, use this online eviction moratorium information and question tool to see your rights and what assistance programs are available.
