EJECTMENTS/UNLAWFUL DETAINERS
In some cases, a property owner has no choice but to file an ejectment or an unlawful detainer action. Many people confuse evictions with ejectments or unlawful detainers, and it’s easy to understand why. Both legal processes ask the court to order an individual to vacate property, and both types of lawsuits are based on the defendant (the occupier) having some sort of interest in the property.
However, there are important differences between evictions and ejectment/unlawful detainer actions. The distinguishing factors between these two procedures is the presence (or lack of) a landlord-tenant relationship, and competing interests between the parties in the case. In an eviction case, there is a landlord-tenant relationship. There is no landlord-tenant relationship in an ejectment action or unlawful detainer action.
Ejectment actions and Unlawful Detainer actions can be challenging, as both sides are usually required to research the chain of title to determine which person is the rightful owner.
Depending on the property and the circumstances involved in the case, this can be a laborious process. If you need to remove an individual from your property, you need the help and experience of an experienced real estate attorney.
