Eviction notices for other grounds (lease violation, no-fault) in New Jersey

Notice depends on the cause: disorderly conduct (after a Notice to Cease) and intentional or grossly negligent damage need a Notice to Quit at least 3 days before filing; substantial rule violations (after a Notice to Cease) need a Notice to Quit at least one month before filing. Nonpayment needs no notice except in federally subsidized housing (14 days) (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1).
