Q: I'm going to be going to small claims court "pro se"Here's the website I'm looking at but if you could give me any other sources for NJ statute/case law that would be helpful.What section would it fall under on here?http://www.megalaw.com/nj/top/njlandlord.phpMy problem is my landlord breached my contract on my move in day. He didn't give me 30 days notice and I'm suing for the differential in my new lease with my breached lease.This appears to be a rare circumstance because I can't find anything on this situation. Nothing even describing a landlord breaching a contract before move in with no notice nor can I find what damages I'm entitled to.I would be very grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction, since I'm doing this "pro se" I understand I'm going to have to spew out case law/statutory law which I'm prepared to do... I just don't know how to find information on this breach.. and there's no breach section involving the landlords fault it's all tenant based.Sorry about the typo in the title, breaching a contract.Here is a tenant's rights page for NJ still can't find anything similar to my scenario. http://www.lsnjlaw.org/english/placeilive/irentmyhome/tenantsrights/index.cfmMy landlord never got approval from his mortgage company (part of a modification) to make his primary residence a rental unit. My lease was in place for 3 months with 1st months and security paid. He waited until the last minute, move in day to tell me he has to void the lease. His reasoning, he was optimistic he could have a resolution with them by then... he was wrong and gave me no notice other then the day I practically had my stuff on his door step.my lease states "If any section of this lease is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, all other valid sections of this lease shall remain in force"So I don' think he can use the excuse he never had the right to enter a legally binding contract. If he did use that excuse he would be admiting to comitting fraud since he never had the right.I'm not worried about proving fraud though, all i want to prove is breach of contract and am seeking damages in the differential in my new 1 yr lease.

A: "I'm going to be going to small claims court "pro se" "In most places that's a given. Lawyers are not allowed in most small claims courts. You won't find anything about your situation under landlord-tenant law, because since you never moved in you never had a landlord-tenant relationship. Your case is a simple breach of contract case. "I understand I'm going to have to spew out case law/statutory law which I'm prepared to do"No you won't. You are not alleging that he broke the law, so you don't have to be able to quote the relevant law that you claim he broke. You're alleging that he broke a contract, so all you have to present is the contract, and show what part of it he broke. (And small claims courts don't expect litigants to be able to cite law and precedent anyway.)"am seeking damages in the differential in my new 1 yr lease."Should be a slam-dunk. If you have other expenses - cancellation fees for the moving company, short term housing for the time until you found a new place etc - don't forget to include them too.Richard
