Eviction

Question 1

Constructive Eviction

Answer 1

Constructive eviction occurs when a landlord’s actions or inactions,,,, make the premises uninhabitable or significantly interfere with the tenant’s use and enjoyment of the property, effectively forcing the tenant to leave without a formal eviction process.

This can include:

Turning off essential utilities like water or electricity.
Blocking access to the property.

Failing to make necessary repairs

Harassing the tenant.
Constructive eviction is illegal, and tenants have rights to seek recourse, including potentially recovering damages through a civil lawsuit
