A legal treatise with a comprehensive list would be needed to properly address all liability issues. Examples include slipping and falling on the premises, snow debris, lead paint, and so on. New Jersey commercial leases may allow parties to waive certain statutory rights. New Jersey black letter law construes leases on contract law doctrines.  New Jersey Statute of Fraud provisions have a timeline of 3 years. Correctly spelling the lessor’s and lessee’s names is crucial when drafting and reviewing leases.

Depending on the situation, it may be the case, that commercial and residential landlords, may be subject-able in reporting rent roll receipt figures, in some way, shape and/or form.  Whether or not a New Jersey real property owner is subject to that requirement, could extenuate other issues, as it pertains to the points raised by this legal-guide article's title.

 

The practical restraints brought on to the operations of the New Jersey Judiciary System by the Coronavirus-related shutdowns, may have made much of the substance of this brief analysis, an incomplete and/or incorrect generalized explanation, of what is an already heavily technical and complicated topical area, within the study of jurisprudence.
 

To better assist in a quest of further analyzing this type of question(s) as revolving per this legal guide article, it may be useful to make additional inquiries, such as: Is it legal or practical to allow tenants to sublease? Are the premises that include rent or occupancy use complaint with recent building code regulations?  Should the lease contain specific clauses regarding issues with security deposits?
