The New Jersey 1-month notice to quit for non-compliance gives a tenant one (1) month to vacate their rental unit for breaking the terms of their lease after receiving a written warning. If a tenant violates the terms of their lease (by keeping unauthorized pets/subtenants, habitually not paying rent on time, smoking where prohibited, etc.) the landlord must serve them with a Notice to Cease.

A Notice to Cease demands that the tenant stop or cure their lease violation, sometimes with a time limit. If the tenant does not comply with the landlord’s demands, their lease can be terminated with one (1) month’s notice. After receiving the notice to quit, the tenant must move out within the given time frame to avoid being evicted by their landlord.
