Eviction in the United States refers to the pattern of tenant removal by landlords in the United States. [1] In an eviction process, landlords forcibly remove tenants from their place of residence and reclaim the property. [2] Landlords may decide to evict tenants who have failed to pay rent, violated lease terms, or possess an expired lease. [1]
New Jersey was the first state to pass a just-cause eviction law in 1974. [1] Interest in these laws has grown in recent years with California passing a just-cause eviction law in 2019 [4] and Oregon passing a bill enumerating valid causes for evicting tenants the same year. [5] Washington passed a similar bill in 2021. [6]
Such evictions are generally illegal at any time during the process (including after a landlord wins an eviction suit); a tenant facing such measures may sue the landlord. However, self-help evictions may be permitted in some jurisdictions when commercial tenants are involved, as opposed to residential tenants. [1] [2]
