LOCKOUTS
No. Two different government orders prevent lockouts at this time.
The State Order
On March 19, 2020, New Jersey Governor Philip Murphy issued Executive Order 106, which suspended evictions throughout the state. This is called an “eviction moratorium,” and it means that, except in rare circumstances,
no tenant may be removed from his or her home as a result of an eviction proceeding. The state eviction moratorium will last until two months after Governor Murphy declares an end to the COVID-19 health crisis. The Governor has extended the official public health emergency several times, most recently through Executive Order 231, which will expire on April 17, 2021. Unless the Governor extends the emergency again, or ends it early, the eviction moratorium will therefore last at least until
