Eviction is the legal process a housing provider uses to recover possession of a rental unit from a resident who will not leave voluntarily. It commonly follows issues such as nonpayment of rent, unresolved lease violations, or a holdover after the lease term, but the allowed reasons and notice rules vary by jurisdiction. In multifamily operations, eviction work usually includes notices, legal filings or court steps, occupancy checks, and final outcomes such as possession, payment resolution, or stipulation satisfaction.
