What if my landlord locks me out illegally?
It is a crime for your landlord to lock you out, only the courts can order evictions, and only government officials can remove you from your home.
If your landlord locks you out, call the local police. They are required to help you get back into your home.
If they tell you this is a “civil” matter that doesn’t involve them, ask them to look at this statute:
N.J.S.A. 2C:33-11.1.
2C:33-11.1 Certain actions relevant to evictions, disorderly persons offense.
3. a.
A person commits a disorderly persons offense
if, after being warned by a law enforcement or other public official of the illegality of that action, the person
(1)
takes possession of residential real property or effectuates a forcible entry or detainer of residential real property without lawful execution of a warrant for possession in accordance with the provisions of
section 2 of P.L.1974, c.47 (C.2A:42-10.16)
or without the consent of the occupant solely in possession of the residential real property; or
(2)
refuses to restore immediately to exclusive possession and occupancy any such occupant so displaced.
Legal occupants unlawfully displaced shall be entitled without delay to reenter and reoccupy the premises , and shall not be considered trespassers or chargeable with any offense, provided that a law enforcement officer is present at the time of reentry.
It shall be the duty of such officer to prevent the landlord or any other persons from obstructing or hindering the reentry and re-occupancy of the dwelling by the displaced occupant.
As used in this section, "forcible entry and detainer" means to enter upon or into any real property and detain and hold that property by:
(1)
any kind of violence including threatening to kill or injure the party in possession;
(2)
words, circumstances or actions which have a clear intention to incite fear or apprehension or danger in the party in possession;
(3)
putting outside of the residential premises the personal effects or furniture of the party in possession;
(4)
entering peaceably and then, by force or threats, turning the party out of possession;
(5)
padlocking or otherwise changing locks to the property;
(6)
shutting off, or causing to be shut off, vital services such as, but not limited to, heat, electricity or water, in an effort to regain possession; or by
(7)
any means other than compliance with lawful eviction procedures pursuant to section 2 of P.L.1974, c.47 (C.2A:42-10.16), as established through possession of a lawfully prepared and valid "Execution of Warrant."
A person who is convicted of an offense under this section is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree.

What is CDC’s legal authority for issuing this Order?
These are criminal penalties and are determined by a court of law. CDC has no involvement in these penalties.
What if individuals act in bad faith when completing and submitting the declaration?
Anyone who falsely claims to be a covered person under this Order by __people out during a pandemic? They don’t care about our health; just about getting money.”

Attorney General of Louisiana
State Director of Emergency Management
Office of the Superintendent State Police
Chief of Police
Re: Enforcement of Act
Dear Attorney General ___ and _____,
My name is _____________.
I write to seek your assistance in addressing the growing problem of property owners and/or their agents conducting illegal evictions.
This practice is unlawful and problematic at any time, but has even more significant economic and public health consequences during the current state of emergency.
I believe that educating police departments and their personnel about law enforcement officers’ legal duty to protect tenants from illegal evictions would go a long way towards curbing this unlawful practice.
Although tenants are currently protected, except in certain circumstances, from physical removal from their homes under Governor Edwards' Executive Order, many landlords are increasingly resorting to “self-help” eviction, through illegal lockouts and / or tenant utility shut-off.
I have not yet retained, although I have spoken to, legal counsel.
I have also, through social media and direct contact with the parties responsible for these offenses, been unsuccessful in receiving any response whatsoever from either management, executive corporate officers, nor from that one of four major Hotel Chains in the world, Wyndham Hotels Corporate office.
I therefore have no other choice, and with this initial email to you gentlemen and ladies.
I am inaugurating the contact to state, local, legal, advocacy groups, for myself to provide necessary service to other displaced, disenfranchised members of the public who may be less fortunate than myself, and who may require even more immediate assistance regarding the defying of eviction moratorea
as well as help for those like myself whose unlawful eviction has already occurred, where I find myself months later writing to you from a hotel adjacent to the one from which I was unceremoniously forced out (no explanation, no court order, no writ, no advance notice, no infraction or incident report or complaint, fully paid in advance, a resident of this resident hotel for the past 10 months)
I also write to you for investigation as to the current disposition of LA law in my efforts to seek reinstatement into my legal domicile and to be made whole as to the immense financial and emotional and mental strain and hardship this abrupt action has caused to me and my family.
Just as importantly, I think it should be an imperative for those affected to immediately contact their local police department when this happens, so that they may retain access to their homes, or regain them.
Without public, police, landlord, residents, managerial, education provided as to the current status and definitions of the groups and sub-groups which exist, made clear, for similar but differentiated applications of the law applying, making it difficult to navigate without cohesive knowledge and contextual enforcement -- hopefully clearing up people's limited awareness -- and sadly some people's attempt and intent to defy the law through illegal action -- as my eviction -- which because of its timing, during the Holiday, which conveniently found its guests unaware and unprepared to defend themselves against the rogue actions to which I found myself subjected, by staff member of whose decision there was no countermanding, nor appeal, as perpetrated against me, under whose protection I was, and am still entitled, as provided and assured under current applicable orders,
recently extended by POTUS and Director of CDC, LA Governor John Bel Edwards, specifically regarding BRPD December 27, 2020 assisted "self-help" eviction, enacted by agents of Baton Rouge, Corporate Blvd., Richmond Inn & Suites, with 'special circumstances' of providing malicious and false report to BRPD (in my case from Hotel Maintenance staffer, Mike's report),
(something which a police officer should have been aware -- a State and Presidential mandate, signed into law in March 2020 -- renewed this year),
which would have protected a 10-month, extended, residential guest (me), from unlawful, spontaneous, perpetration onto a paid-in-full, in-advance, Christmas command, with no paperwork or explanation for me to quit (no 'quit or pay' -- more like, 'quit or else') during State of Emergency, in defense and for the protection of the population, of which the pandemic, only yesterday presented Louisiana with 2,500 new cases, but which the scheming, opportunistic conspiracy of General Manager Trudi Veals, and her three-titled employee, Mike, under no stated authority, and by no provided decree, I answered, and was informed, after hearing me stipulate my intention to contact SMC Hotels Group, VP of Operations, John Holmstrom (obviously unsuccessful) -- to which he responded, and did threaten and command with implied authority of, at least, BRPD Officer, a guarantor, for me to vacate as ordered -- out of my 'home'.
With last-minute scramble and transportation from my mother, whose health he had also needlessly, recklessly compromised (this sub-managerial, self-professed Marshall, representing SMC Hotel Group, and ultimately Wyndham Hotel, and their Trademark Collection's ownership).
I will never quit my pursuit of his and his General Manager's prosecution, either criminally, or civilly, where they did set out for almost a year to deprive me of my civil rights.
And as today makes one month since being forced out for unknown, racist redistribution, or personal reasons, most easily recognized by the uxorious, petty quality of their crime, as well as its demeanor and acumen, which has been shown by them and exactly alike by their corporate entities, whose dismissal of my communications unacknowledged, social media -- they roll the dice, hopeful that it just goes away.
By sticking their heads in the sand, it will only become more severely explored and invasive, entreating any or all agencies under whose more than a few shameless crimes during disasters, it would seem, Katrina would have brought for the century to an end, but which I find, in a vacuum, all types of vermin from rocks to restructure derelict hotels and return them to profitability by any means necessary, insuring new guests -- this is the price they must pay to stay.
As explained below, such conduct contravenes law enforcement's legal obligation to protect tenants from landlords who are committing disorderly persons offenses.
Sincerely,
_________

Residential Evictions: What Tenants Need To Know - UPDATED January 2020
JD Supra
The state order permits a hotel or motel to evict a “transient guest or seasonal tenant.” Longtime hotel and motel residents, along with many others, are not considered “transient” or “seasonal,” however, and therefore remain protected from eviction under the Order.
In general, residents cannot be evicted if they “have no permanent housing to which they may safely or lawfully return and live at a hotel or motel on a continual basis.” Under Administrative Orders
2020-08 and 2020-09 (issued by the State Director of Emergency Management on April 4 and April 24, 2020), the following hotel and motel residents are generally protected from eviction:
those who are part of state initiatives aimed at getting people out of group shelters;
those supported by a governmental housing assistance program;
health-care workers who need a temporary place to stay;
homeless people;
individuals affected by domestic violence; and
those staying in hotels or motels in compliance with a court order.

Furthermore, housing stability helps protect public health because homelessness increases the likelihood of individuals moving into close quarters in congregate settings, such as homeless shelters, which then puts individuals at higher risk to COVID-19."
