	Eviction
		Eviction is a court-administered proceeding for removing a tenant from a rental unit because the tenant has violated the rental agreement or did not comply with a notice ending the tenancy.
		The landlord must file the proper forms with the county clerk and he or she is forbidden to forcibly remove or "lock out" the tenant; any attempt to do so may result in a default judgment in favor of the tenant or, at worst, criminal charges brought against the landlord.
		The landlord has filed the eviction action in retaliation for the tenant exercising a tenant right or because the tenant complained to the building inspector about the condition of the rental unit.
