The legal process of removing a tenant from the premises for some breach of the lease ...

CONT

Typical grounds for the eviction of a tenant include nonpayment of rent, unlawful use of the premises violating the use provisions of the lease (such as conducting a business in a rental unit leased strictly for residential purposes), and noncompliance with health and safety codes. (Reilly, 2nd ed., 1982, p. 170).

OBS

The word "eviction" has in latter times been understood to mean what formerly it was not intended to express ... [It] has come to have a popular meaning, and to be applied to every kind of expulsion in fact. [Stroud, 4th ed., 1971, p. 951].

Record 2 2014-02-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
DEF

The disturbance of a tenant's enjoyment of all or any material part of the leased premises by act of the landlord or by claim of a superior title. (Reilly, 2nd ed., 1982, p. 170).

OBS

"Eviction," from "evincere," to evict or dispossess by course of law, was used originally when the person having the permanent title asserted it and expelled his tenant. But that sort of eviction is not absolutely necessary in order to operate as a suspension of the rent, and the word is now used when that has been done which deprives the tenant of the enjoyment of the premises, and the rent is therefore suspended, and the right of the landlord to recover it is gone. [Stroud, 4th ed., 1971, p. 951].

OBS

While it properly applies only to realty, by a loose extension [eviction] is sometimes applied to the ousting of a person from the possession of chattels, and even from office. [31 "Corpus Juris Secundum," p. 807].
