I live in NJ.
My tenants moved out on 31 October with NO NOTICE. They haven't even given me back the keys to the apartment. They told me on Friday afternoon they'd be back to clean up and get the last of their stuff that evening. Well, they have not been back. They left the apartment dirty, damaged my kitchen floor which was brand new when they moved in, damaged one of my doors, left an unfinished paint job on one of the walls, and I have no security because they told me to use it for Oct rent when they couldn't come up with the rent money. They still have some of their belongings in the apartment (fan, bed, toys, bike, curtains, etc). Can I get rid of their stuff? What legal action can I take? Thank you.
