Rights of a tenant facing eviction
There was a time when the landlord was the alpha and omega and the tenant at his mercy. A landlord could wake up one day and decide he wants the tenant out of his house; perhaps out of spite, perhaps because he needs the property urgently, or because he has a better offer. Whatever the reason, it didn’t matter. Failure of the tenant to comply would often result in a forced eviction. The tenant is forcibly removed from the premises with his or her things thrown out and sometimes, the tenant’s property is removed from the premises in his or her absence. The trend has however been abated with the realisation that such actions is not backed by the law.
