Etymology
The word 'eviction' originates from the Latin word 'evictio' which means 'expulsion'. The concept of eviction has existed for centuries, with historical records dating back to ancient times when landlords had the legal right to remove tenants from their property. Over time, eviction laws and procedures have evolved to provide protection for both tenants and landlords, outlining the legal process that must be followed before someone can be evicted from a property.
