eviction court
Lease dispute venue
Eviction court is the informal name for the legal proceeding where landlords seek to remove tenants from rental property.
The term typically refers to housing court or a small claims division handling unlawful detainer cases: I have to show up at eviction court on Tuesday.
The process moves quickly, often favoring landlords, making eviction court dreaded shorthand for imminent housing loss.
