Launch of the NJ Eviction Guide

We’re excited to share the launch of a new tool from the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs – Office of Eviction Prevention:

👉 The NJ Eviction Guide

This step-by-step, mobile-friendly guide helps tenants understand where they are in the eviction process and connect directly with free legal help in their county.

What it offers:

  • Personalized guidance based on tenant responses
  • A clear explanation of each stage in the eviction process
  • Access to free, high-quality legal services for eligible low-income tenants
  • Private and secure interaction (no data is stored on government servers)

Why it matters:

Evictions are stressful, confusing, and fast-moving. This guide gives tenants immediate clarity and connects them with the support they need to avoid displacement and homelessness.

📣 Please help us spread the word:

  • Share this tool with your networks, clients, and colleagues
  • Include it on your website or resource hub
  • Distribute it through your email lists, text alerts, or intake processes

Access the guide here!

If you have any questions or would like outreach materials (QR flyers, social media posts, etc.), please contact the OEP team at:
Thank you for helping us ensure that no New Jersey resident faces eviction without knowledge of their rights or access to help!
