ejectment
Ousting from property
Ejectment is the legal action to recover possession of property, particularly real estate.
A landlord might bring an ejectment proceeding against tenants who refuse to leave after eviction.
The term sounds archaic but remains current in property law: The court granted the ejectment and ordered the occupants removed within thirty days.
