Eviction is the process to remove which occupant?

• A. Owner
• B. Tenant
• C. Mortgage Lender
• D. Adjoining Neighbor

Answer: (B)

Eviction is the legal process used to remove someone who rents a unit under a lease or rental agreement and lives there under a landlord–tenant relationship. In other words, it targets a tenant—the person who occupies the property as a renter and has rights and obligations under a lease. This removal happens when the tenant fails to meet lease terms, such as not paying rent or violating rules, or when the tenancy ends but the occupant remains.

Owners, mortgage lenders, and neighboring individuals aren’t the ones typically subject to eviction in this context. The owner owns the property, a mortgage lender isn’t an occupant, and an adjoining neighbor isn’t a tenant of the unit. So the occupant being removed through eviction is the person who rents the space.
