<br />
'''Eviction''' is the process by which a [[landlord]] removes a [[tenant]] from a [[rental property]]. This process can occur for various reasons, including non-payment of rent, violation of lease terms, or the expiration of the lease. Eviction is governed by [[landlord-tenant law]] and typically requires a court order.<br />
<br />
== Legal Process ==<br />
The eviction process generally begins with a notice from the landlord to the tenant. This notice, often called a "notice to quit" or "notice to vacate," informs the tenant of the landlord's intention to reclaim the property. The notice period can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the reason for eviction.<br />
<br />
If the tenant does not comply with the notice, the landlord may file an eviction lawsuit, known as an "unlawful detainer" action, in a local court. The court will then schedule a hearing where both parties can present their case. If the court rules in favor of the landlord, it will issue a judgment for possession, allowing the landlord to reclaim the property.<br />
