An eviction is the required legal step a landlord must take after he has given a Notice to Quit to a tenant. An eviction is required when the landlord has given proper notice to the tenant to leave and the tenant refuses to do so. Eviction is allowed only through court proceedings or the voluntary departure of the tenant. Eviction is the legal removal of a tenant from rental property he has possession of, but does not own.
Landlords trade reasonable use of their property for rent from tenants.
A tenant uses the property unreasonably, causing a serious and continuing health hazard or an extensive and continuing physical injury to the property. A tenant doesn't leave after the lease is up. There are several other reasons for using eviction laws, but they are too rare to discuss here. Start by serving proper notice to tenant. A legal form advising the nature of the claim and the remedy the landlord is seeking.
