an hour to clifton? more like 20 minutes, if you go at the right time. and totally worth it for costco.

i'd say 20 minutes to union too but it could feasibly take an hour if 22 acts like it normally does. or 21. whatever that hateful highway is called.

Comcast has had a monopoly for decades and you yell at Verizon for introducing competition? You use bittorrent and don't think that downloads are relevant? FIOS massively increased the upstream over Comcast and your not happy with that either?

And the competition has totally brought prices down.

So, wha?!

There are two ways to learn how to draw: from the nude model, and everything else. There is a reason people have been doing figure drawing ever since there was a thing called drawing. I doubt you could ever really learn how to draw if you didn?t learn to draw in a figure studio.

If she were to model in a high school or Vo-Tech where there are minors under 18, then yes she would have a bikini on. Being that this is at a private gallery, she probably will be nude. Are you like totally psyched?! Bring some jazz CDs with you to calm your nerves.

My lease renewal offer says precisely:

" You have a period of 30 days from receipt of this offer in which to accept. If this agreement is not returned within 30 days we will asssume that you are vacating your apartment at the expiration of your lease and your apartment will be up for rent."


This is sent 105 days before the lease expires.
Any comments on whether the wording eliminates any need for my notifying them of my choice to leave, whether or not any month to month tenancy can possibly arise, or whether I can be denied another lease if I renew 2 months early instead of their desired 2.5 months early?

Can I possibly owe them ANY notification if I plan to leave given the precise wording of the lease? Can they demand a 2 month advance notice of my intention to RENEW under NJ law?

If, in apartment that falls under NJ state anti eviction law which is most rentals*, the landlord offers no lease renewal, month to month automatically takes effect, which prescribes 30 day notice. There's no legal circumstances that you can move out with no notice without forfeiting your security.

Not precisely true. If your 12-month lease goes from November 1, 2008 through October 31, 2009, a month-to-menth tenancy is only created if you do not vacate on or before October 31, 2009. It's only once you've held over (if you're there on November 1, 2009) that the month-to-month provision of the anti-eviction law kicks in.

So if the lease contains no renewal notice provision (which is extremely rare in a residential lease), a tenant can move out on the final day of their lease without forfeiting the month's worth of rent contained in their security deposit, and without creating a month-to-month tenancy.

So in the above scenario, a tenant need not give notice on October 1, 2009 that they intend to vacate at the end of the lease. Though it's definitely a good idea to give as much notice as possible.

xerxes- you can move out at end of tenancy as long a there are no provisions stating otherwise. Alot of tenants just dont pay last months rent or retrun landlords calls etc. At that point landlord can send a certified letter and start showing the apartment for rent.

People like you are the reason we won't rent our market rate apartments to people who aren't from the middle class, preferably 20 somethings just starting out. They're just like us but younger and most will probably be wealthier by the time they're our age. They don't have a twisted welfare sense of entitlement and that we're their enemy. If I'm slow to fix something non-emergency they accept it's because I have a career and a family, not because I'm a rapacious fiend.

How did your market rate apartment become so in a city with COMPLETE rent control. Is your building tiny or are you a fraudulent crook? Or do you own a waterfront high-rise?
These are your ONLY options


If you have 5 tenants in "market rate" unit, you are a crook! If you prefer 20 somethings as tenants it is because your HOPE is they don't know the law...and that you are a fraudulent crook.
If you could rent to 4 year olds your chances might be even better that they do not know the rent control regulations in Jersey City.
Rent control is strong in Jersey City...IF YOU FIGHT THESE PREDACIOUS LANDLORDS and fight HARD!

Are you mobbed up? Did BIG TONY give you his building? Or did you buy it for a nickel on the dollar?


When you diiscriminate against those not in the "middle class" or in "their 20's" how do you you do it? You DO realize one is a STATE felony and the other is a FEDERAL felony. Do you have a shill realtor who does it for you?

You are the kind of person who gives landlords an even WORSE name than they have. Maybe SLIME was too kind?

I mean how would one define a slimey pig as different from someone who thinks the laws do not pertain to them? I mean really, enlighten me...who is worse? The crooked mayor of Hoboken or a rapacious law-breaking landlord?

Good for you for name dropping that you've got a personal relationship with Zimmer. Must mean your opinion is more objective, or at least more valuable.

I share your sentiments, but take the announcement about Zimmer and Mason with a grain of salt, in that it was an annoucnement made by Zimmer (or rather, her husband). When/if the FBI corroborates it, I'll give it more credence. But reading the nj.com article about it, it came across as pretty neatly-wrapped and self-serving to me.

I would like to believe it all went down exactly as stated, but certain details of it (involving conversations between the candidate and her husband) there would be no way to verify.

Maybe I'm just an equal-opportunity cynic.

Jersey City needs NO MORE MEMORIALS to our reasons for two wars and a destroyed economy (and Constitution)...that's what cemeteries are for.

Parks are for the living!

(Oh an aside: I was an initial member of Friends of Liberty Park. I resigned when I realized that the purpose of the group was to rubber stamp decisions by the head of the state EPA who ALWAYS had a powerful representation who, in essence chaired the meeting and dictated the agenda.
IF we were not ready and willing to okay a private golf course and marina in the park we were told we were not doing what we were THERE for.
I often wonder what happened to that prik!

Thus we have a hideous private marina but thankfully no golf course, YET!)
