He was kicked out of public housing during N.J.’s eviction moratorium, and he’s not alone

Andrew Austin didn’t have a lawyer when he logged onto Zoom in civil court this November, but the Newark Housing Authority did.
“The judge didn’t listen to anything I had to say,” Austin said. “She gave me two weeks to get out of there or the sheriff’s department was going to come.”
He and his girlfriend left the Wynona Lipman Gardens townhome in Newark when Superior Court Judge Lisa Adubato in November handed down the ejectment order, a legally different term and process than an eviction.
