View Comments Renters in New Jersey are still protected against lockouts through the end of the year, but starting this month, courts will require mandatory settlement hearings for landlord-tenant cases and some tenant advocates are worried about the potential impact.  Through such hearings, tenants and landlords meet primarily online, at a time scheduled by the court and discuss ways to resolve their cases. The estimated 14,000 cases that have been pending for more than a year will be prioritized, as well as newer cases involving a year s worth of missed rent.  There are consequences if either party doesn t show up. If a landlord fails to appear, the case gets dismissed. If a tenant fails to appear, and the court determines the landlord has made his or her case, the court will enter a default judgment to evict the tenant.
