Legal Definitions - total eviction

Definition: Total eviction is the act of legally dispossessing a person of their land or rental property, which completely deprives the tenant of any right in the premises.

Example: If a landlord evicts a tenant from their rental property and removes all of their belongings, changing the locks and preventing them from entering the property, it is considered a total eviction.

This example illustrates how a total eviction completely deprives the tenant of their right to the property. The tenant is no longer able to access the property or any of their belongings, and has no legal right to the property.
