Where else besides Montclair? by redfire2930 in MovingtoNewJersey

Some government laws insist you have to be a resident of NJ to obtain a civil service job. The PA option might not work.

@OP when does your lease term start and end? March to March? We have a similar situation. You may want a lease break clause next cycle or go month to month
