The Borough of Somerdale is pleased to share the launch of a valuable new tool from the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs’ Office of Eviction Prevention: the NJ Eviction Guide.

This step-by-step, mobile-friendly tool is designed to help tenants better understand where they stand in the eviction process and get connected to free legal help available in their county.

What the NJ Eviction Guide Offers:

• Personalized guidance based on each tenant’s unique situation
• Clear explanations of each stage in the eviction process
• Access to free legal services for eligible low-income tenants
• Private and secure use – no personal data is stored on government servers

Why It Matters:

Evictions can be stressful, confusing, and move quickly. The NJ Eviction Guide provides tenants with immediate clarity and connects them with critical resources to help prevent displacement and homelessness.

Help Spread the Word:

We encourage local organizations, landlords, service providers, and residents to share this resource widely:

• Post the link on your website or social media
• Include it in newsletters, email lists, or client communications
• Use it during intake processes or community outreach

Access the NJ Eviction Guide:

For outreach materials like flyers, social media posts, or other resources, contact the Office of Eviction Prevention:

Let’s work together to ensure no New Jersey resident faces eviction without knowing their rights or how to get help.
