What does EVICT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To legally expel someone, especially a tenant, from a property they occupy.
To evict someone usually follows a formal legal process, in which a landlord or property owner obtains a court order before removing a tenant who has broken a lease or stopped paying rent. The word can also apply more loosely to forcing anyone out of a place they are occupying, even without a court involved. Eviction is generally treated as a last resort after warnings, notices, or unpaid bills have gone unresolved.
