EVICT Meaning and Definition

  1. Evict, verb:

    To evict means to forcibly remove or expel someone from a property or premises, typically due to a legal or contractual obligation. The action of evicting is usually carried out by a landlord or property owner as a result of breaches in the terms of a lease agreement, such as failure to pay rent, causing disturbances, or engaging in unlawful activities.

    The process of eviction often involves serving a notice to the tenant, informing them of the violations or the termination of their tenancy. This may be followed by the initiation of legal proceedings, where a court may issue an eviction order or judgment against the tenant, authorizing their removal by a designated law enforcement agency or sheriff.

    Eviction can be a complex and regulated legal process, varying in different jurisdictions. The specific rights and protections afforded to tenants may be governed by local landlord-tenant laws and require adherence to specific procedures, including a fair opportunity for a tenant to address and rectify any breaches or disputes.

    The purpose of eviction is to regain possession of the property for the landlord while facilitating a resolution to the dispute or the non-compliance situation. However, it is noteworthy that eviction should not be confused with other related terms, such as repossession (commonly associated with mortgage defaults or foreclosures) or ejection (a more general term for removing someone from a property).

  2. To dispossess of lands or tenements by legal proceedings, as a tenant by a landlord; to recover lands, &c., by legal process.
