Here in NJ, my lawyer made it sound as though I could be charged with harassment if I even DROVE past my property before they were out....even my right to give 24 hours notice to inspect could be construed as harassment.
The end result?
The scumbags stole all appliances (washer, dryer, refrigerator, stove,etc) and completely destroyed cabinets, carpet, etc....it was a beautiful place, my wife was in tears.
We called the police...who told me there was nothing that could be done, that it was a civil matter....until i found this and other laws in the criminal code.
NJ sucks as a state in general, but here tenants have so much rights that law enforcement completely ignore the rights of the landlord.
