New Jersey leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
A sale does not by itself cancel a lease or make tenants leave. New Jersey's Anti-Eviction Act protects most residential tenants; the lease, building, occupancy, and reason for seeking possession affect which rules apply.
N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1 to 61.3 — grounds and process
For tenants covered by the Act, a landlord can seek removal only for a reason listed in the law and through a court. Selling the house is not one of those reasons, and the same limits apply to the new owner. A foreclosure alone is not a reason either.
For covered tenants, the lease ending by itself is not a reason to evict or refuse renewal. A limited exception applies to an owner of a building with three or fewer homes who wants to move in, or who has signed a sale contract with a buyer who will live there and the contract requires the house to be empty at closing. The owner must give two months' written notice before filing the court case, and a written lease must have expired before that case can start.
The Act does not cover a building where the owner lives and there are no more than two rental units.
New Jersey DCA: Security Deposit bulletin
The security deposit moves with the sale. Within five days after the deed is delivered, the seller must transfer the deposit and the interest the tenant has earned to the buyer, then notify the tenant by registered or certified mail who now holds it. The new owner is responsible for the deposit either way.
Keep the deposit amount, earned interest, and tenant notice together for the written handoff.
New Jersey DCA: Truth in Renting
The state guide covers landlord-tenant rules, including what a sale means for an existing rental agreement, local rent control, and landlord registration.
New Jersey DCA: Foreclosure Fairness Act notice to tenants
This state notice explains protections and information for tenants when a rental property is in foreclosure. A foreclosure does not by itself end the lease or authorize a lockout.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Camden tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Camden house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses with tenants in place in Camden and Camden County, New Jersey. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease or make the tenants leave.
Do I have to evict before I contact you?
No. You can talk with us about selling while the tenants are still there. If your plan depends on vacant possession, the lease and New Jersey court process still matter; the sale alone does not end the tenancy.
What happens to the security deposit when the house is sold?
Within five days after the deed is delivered, the seller must transfer the deposit and earned interest to the buyer and notify the tenant by registered or certified mail who now holds it. The new owner is responsible for the deposit either way.
Does the end of a lease automatically mean a tenant must leave?
For tenants protected by New Jersey’s Anti-Eviction Act, a lease ending alone is not a reason to evict or refuse renewal. The law generally requires a reason listed in the Act and a court process, with limited exceptions described on this page.
What should I have ready before I call?
Start with what you know about the Camden address, who lives there, the lease, access, repairs, the deposit, and timing. You can talk with us even if the details are not organized yet.
