I don’t think a building can evict you that quickly. If your landlord can be contacted, I suggest you let them know asap. Tell them what’s going on and give them a timeframe of when you’ll get them the rent. More than likely, they’ll understand and at most tack on a late fee. No landlord wants to go thru the lengthy process of eviction especially in NJ. If worse comes to worst and you’re extremely desperate (and I really don’t recommend this), you can do a cash advance on a credit card if you need cash asap. But again, I really don’t recommend this as you’ll dig a bigger hole for yourself and end up paying more.

Fortunately and unfortunately my rent is low and my landlord knows it. I got into the unit with my girlfriend while the landlord was clearly desperate because of whatever was going on with her during the pandemic. Now that the pandemic seems to be less of an urgent matter she’s happy to boot us and find someone willing to pay more. The process doesn’t scare her at all.

Do you have a lease? Doesn’t change the eviction laws because you have a good deal.

it’s still illegal to just immediately evict you because of late rent. have you told your landlord what’s going on with your pay?
