wrongful eviction

Wrongful eviction occurs when a landlord forces a tenant to leave a rental property without following legal procedures or without a valid reason permitted by law. This can include eviction without proper notice, using illegal methods, or evicting without cause when protected by tenancy laws. Such actions violate the tenant’s rights and may entitle the tenant to legal remedies, including compensation or the right to stay. It's important for landlords to follow lawful procedures, and tenants should understand their rights to prevent wrongful eviction.
