Opinion
Argued February 27, 1979 —
Decided March 15, 1979.
Appeal from the Superior Court, Chancery Division, Hudson County.
Before Judges MATTHEWS, KOLE and MILMED.
Mr. William Goldberg argued the cause for appellants.
Mr. Laurence B. Orloff argued the cause for respondent ( Messrs. Orloff, Lowenbach, Stifelman Siegel, attorneys; Messrs. Laurence B. Orloff, Jeffrey M. Garrod and Raymond A. Brown on the brief).
We agree with Judge Kentz that the Anti-Eviction Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1 et seq. is inapplicable to the factual circumstances presented in this case. Accordingly, we affirm substantially for the reasons expressed in his opinion reported at 152 N.J. Super. 582, insofar as they reach that conclusion.
Since we find N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1 et seq. inapplicable, it is unnecessary for us to decide whether its literal application would violate the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution of the United States. See 152 N.J. Super. at 598 to 600.
The judgment of the trial court is affirmed for the reasons herein stated.
