Eviction is when someone is denied access to property they legally own or have rights to. It can apply to both owners and tenants, and court remedies may include readmission and compensation. Political ousters are also considered expulsions.
In law, eviction is a situation in which someone is deprived of the enjoyment of property to which they are legally entitled. For example, if a brother and sister buy a house together and one brother locks up the other, this would be considered a deportation. The expulsion constitutes an unlawful expropriation and the victim of the expulsion can take the situation to court for judgment. Court remedies may include forcing the ousted party to readmit them and paying damages to compensate the person who was ousted for hardship such as having to do business out of a temporary office.
This term refers specifically to real estate; being denied access to a home or business to which you have legal rights of access is an expulsion, as is maintaining a hostile environment that makes it impossible to use a space. Extrusions can apply to both owners and tenants of the property. Anyone legally entitled to enjoy a property can potentially seek legal remedy in court if access is restricted.
There may be some situations where people are deported under legal process, such as when a domestic violence victim issues a restraining order and the abusive partner cannot enter the home. In these cases, however, the “expelled” person has no legal right to the enjoyment of the property because the restraining order is in effect. While the net effect may be the same as a deportation, the case is not treated as such.
Roommates, business partners, and other people who share real estate can end up in situations where an eviction occurs. Interpersonal conflict sometimes leads to events where one person tries to push the other out of a space to which both have rights. People can do things like change or add locks to keep each other out, or engage in activities that actually keep other parties from entering a structure.
The term “expulsion” is also used in a political sense, to refer to situations where people are expelled from positions of power or authority. A coup, in which a head of state is forcibly removed, is an example of such an ouster. Other political ousters may include the displacement of lawmakers or other officials. Like a legal ouster, a political ouster involves removing someone from their rightful place.
