eviction:
“Dispossession by process of law ; the act of depriving a person of the possession of lands which he has held, in pursuance of the judgment of a court. Technically, the dispossession must be by judgment of law; if otherwise, it is an ouster. The abandonment which one is obliged to make of a thing, in pursuance of a sentence by which he is condemned to do so.” [1] “(16c.) The act or process of legally dispossessing a person of land or rental property.” [2]
ouster:
“(16c.) 1. The wrongful dispossession or exclusion of someone from property. 2. Removal from a position of power; especially, the removal of a public or corporate officer from office.”
Types of Wrongful Evictions:
Constructive Eviction – a landlord’s act of making premises unfit for occupancy, often with the result that the tenant is compelled to leave.
Retaliatory Eviction – a nearly always illegal eviction that is commenced in response to a tenant’s complaints or involvement in activities with which the landlord disapproves of.
