S.342

Establishes expedited ejectment proceeding to remove unauthorized real property occupants.

New Jersey S342 establishes an expedited ejectment proceeding to remove unauthorized real property occupants. If the court determines the owner's information is accurate, it must issue a writ of possession, and an officer must remove the occupant. The occupant must receive written notice of the proceeding within 24 hours. The owner can recover damages, including treble damages for unlawful entry and detainer. The court can extend timelines in extraordinary circumstances. Forging documents for the proceeding is a third-degree crime.
