Eviction is the lawful process where a landlord removes a tenant from a rental property, typically due to reasons like non-payment of rent, lease violations, or the end of a lease term.
Common reasons include failure to pay rent, violating terms of the lease agreement (e.g., unauthorized pets, property damage), illegal activity, or overstaying after the lease expires.
Generally, no. In most jurisdictions, landlords must follow a specific legal process and obtain a court order to legally evict a tenant. Self-help evictions (like changing locks or shutting off utilities) are typically illegal.
Tenants typically have the right to proper notice, an opportunity to cure certain violations, and the right to present their defense in court. They may also be entitled to legal assistance.
