TALMADGE VILLAGE LLC VS. KEITH WILSON (DC-008290-20, MIDDLESEX COUNTY AND STATEWIDE)

In this one-sided appeal, plaintiff-landlord Talmadge Village LLC challenges the trial court's stay of the October 8, 2020 order ejecting defendant Keith Wilson from the apartment he shared with Talmadge's former tenant and restoring possession to the landlord. The lease had expired, defendant was never on the lease, and he never notified the landlord he lived there.

Plaintiff initiated an ejectment action to have defendant removed from the apartment. Following a hearing during which both parties participated, the trial court issued an order for possession in plaintiff's favor and directed defendant to vacate the premises. The judge then stayed enforcement of his order "pursuant to Executive Order 106 and P.L. 2020, c. 1 for the duration of the moratorium imposed thereby." Because the court concludes the governor's moratorium on evictions, as set forth in Executive Order 106, does not extend to persons having the legal status of squatters, the court vacates the stay.
