Under no circumstances may the landlord take the law into his/her own hands and forcibly remove your from the premises. The question however is whether your arrangement constitutes a landlord/tenant relationship such that the landlord may avail him/herself of the landlord/tenant court and whether you are entitled to the protections of the NJ Anti-Eviction Act. I would therefore strongly suggest that you speak with an attorney to discuss your rights in this matter. Good luck.
