Frank,

OK, assuming that you are referring to:

(Chase Manhattan Bank vs. Josephson) 261 NJ. Super. 428, 619 A.2d 241

Holding:
Affirmed. The defendants claimed that the 1986 amendments to New
Jersey's Anti-Eviction Act, overturned existing case law, and now
required foreclosing mortgagees to comply with the removal for cause
provision in the Anti-Eviction Act. The Superior Court rejected the
defendants' argument after analyzing the legislative history of the
1986 amendments, and determining that the law was not intended to
alter the property rights of legitimate mortgagees.

How does this help?

Ruth Farr indicates that the property is not located in New
Jersey. And the above case only restates that a mortgage
predating a tenancy lease, has priority over that lease.
The mortgage may eveict without cause.
