Landlord-Tenant Law

Eviction, Actual
Actual eviction is the legal process where a tenant is removed from a property either by physical force or through legal procedures, typically initiated by the landlord for reasons such as non-payment of rent or breach of lease terms.
Implied
In real estate and legal terms, 'implied' refers to obligations, rights, or contracts that are not explicitly declared in writing or verbally but are assumed to exist under the circumstances and are enforceable by law. It contrasts with 'expressed,' which refers to explicitly stated agreements or declarations.
Quiet Enjoyment
In real estate, quiet enjoyment is the right of an owner or any person legally entitled to possession to use property without interference. It is fundamental for tenants and property owners, ensuring that they can possess and enjoy their property in peace.
Tenancy for Years
A tenancy for years is defined by a lease agreement for a specified period, such as months or years, typically fixed from the outset.
