Legal Procedures

Due Process
Due Process refers to the legal necessity for following established procedures when the government intends to limit or seize an individual’s property rights. This ensures fair treatment by providing appropriate notifications and opportunities for affected parties to present their viewpoints.
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.
Self-Help
Self-help refers to the efforts of a landlord to cure a default on the lease without aid of legal proceedings, which is generally not permitted as a legitimate substitute for a legal eviction.
Torrens System
The Torrens System is a land registration system that provides conclusive evidence of land ownership and simplifies the process of verifying property title status, eliminating the need for comprehensive title searches.
