eviction process
Forced departure procedure
The eviction process is the legal procedure a landlord follows to remove a tenant from a rental property.
It typically involves written notice, court filings, and if the tenant doesn't leave voluntarily, a court order enforced by law enforcement.
The specific steps and timeline vary by jurisdiction.
The eviction process can take weeks or months depending on local laws.
