¶21 Lastly, Tenants rely on N’Jie v. Mei Cheung, No. 09-919, 2011 WL 809990, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 20328 (D.N.J. Mar. 1, 2011) (unpublished), aff’d, 504 F. App’x 108 (3d Cir. 2012). Suppl. Br. of Pet’rs at 6. In N’Jie, the court granted the landlords’ motion for summary judgment regarding just cause for nonrenewal of a lease agreement. 2011 WL 809990, at *2-3, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 20328, at *6-7. The court found that the landlords showed an “authentic, subjective intention to personally occupy” the unit. 2011 WL 809990, at *3, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 20328, at *7. Because the tenants merely disputed the landlords’ reason for wanting to personally occupy the unit, rather than the landlords’ actual intention to do so, the court found that the tenants failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact. 2011 WL 809990, at *3, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 20328, at *7-8. Although N’Jie suggests that the tenant may dispute the *320landlord’s actual intentions before being evicted, the present case again involves a distinct issue. Accordingly, N’Jie does not guide us in resolving this case.
