Description

Eviction refers to the legal process through which a landlord removes a tenant from a rental property. This process typically occurs due to non-payment of rent or violation of lease terms, and it involves court proceedings to enforce the removal.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'desalojo' and 'desahucio' can be used interchangeably, but 'desalojo' is more commonly used in legal contexts. Avoid using colloquial terms that may not convey the formal legal implications of eviction, and be cautious of regional variations in terminology.

Example Sentences

EN: The landlord initiated the eviction process after the tenant failed to pay rent for three consecutive months.

ES: El propietario inició el desalojo después de que el inquilino no pagara el alquiler durante tres meses consecutivos.

Common Interpreter Mistakes
