Can a landlord in NJ evict a tenant because they are moving back in state and need to move in location is in NJ?

The circumstances under which a landlord can evict a tenant depend on the specific laws and regulations of the locality, state or province, country where the property is located. This is correct, but it's also a waste of space putting it here; it's of no help at all! By law in my state, a landlord can terminate a month-to-month lease for any reason with 30 days notice. But a landlord can't generally evict before a lease expires without some breach. He can always sue for possession, but he may lose.
