An eviction is a legal process used to regain possession of a rental property when a tenant breaches the lease, fails to pay rent, or holds over after the term ends. The process involves notices, filings, and a court ruling.
Key elements include proper notices, admissible pleadings, evidence of breach, service on the tenant, and a court hearing. The process culminates in judgment and, if needed, a writ of possession to restore possession.
