Lease enforcement focuses on remedies for lease breaches and ensuring terms are followed, which may include notices, collections, or eviction when necessary. Eviction is a specific court action to regain possession and remove a tenant; enforcement actions may proceed with or without eviction depending on the breach and local law.
