Definition: An eviction is a legal process that a landlord must go through to, essentially, kick out a tenant. The exact procedure differs from state to state, but no matter the state, the landlord must follow the state rules for evictions.
Evictions are required for tenants who have signed a lease. For tenants with a rental agreement, a landlord typically only has to give the tenant advance notice to leave.
