An eviction is a legal action started by the owner of a property to force a tenant to move out of the property. Can a landlord evict you without a court order? A court ordered eviction is the only legal way a landlord may force a tenant to leave a rental property. A lawful eviction requires a court proceeding. The length of the process will vary depending on the circumstances of the eviction.
