eviction
n.
expulsion, dispossession, ejection
Eviction
Colloquially, the word eviction refers to the removal of a
tenant from
rental property by the
landlord. In legal terms, it is also known as unlawful detainer, summary possession, forcible detainer, ejectment, or repossession, depending on the laws of the
jurisdiction. Nevertheless, due to this colloquialism, the process is routinely referred to as eviction in communications between the landlord and tenant.
