• Section 8 — your housing-choice voucher is a protected source of income. A landlord cannot decline an applicant because they intend to pay with Section 8 (NJLAD).
• Eviction — good cause required for all evictions under the NJ Anti-Eviction Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1). Lease expiration alone is not grounds.
