evictor
Landlord who expels
An evictor is a person or entity that forces someone to leave a property, typically a landlord removing a tenant for nonpayment of rent or lease violations.
The term carries negative connotations, often implying aggressive or heartless action against vulnerable occupants.
Serial evictors buy up buildings and push out long-term tenants to raise rents.
In legal contexts, the evictor must follow specific procedures to lawfully remove occupants.
