Legal Definitions - eject

To "eject" means to forcibly remove or cast out a person or thing. In a legal context, it specifically refers to ousting someone from possession of property or expelling them from a place.

Eject

To eject means to forcefully remove someone or something, often from a place or position they occupy, or to legally remove someone from property they no longer have a right to possess.

Here are some examples:

• Removing a Tenant: If a tenant consistently fails to pay rent or violates significant terms of their lease agreement, a landlord may initiate legal proceedings to eject them from the property. After obtaining a court order, the landlord can then legally remove the tenant and regain possession of the premises.
  • This example illustrates the legal process of dispossessing someone from real property, where a person is formally removed from their occupancy due to a breach of agreement or legal right.
• Removing a Disruptive Spectator: During a professional sports game, if a spectator becomes overly aggressive, starts a fight, or repeatedly ignores warnings from stadium staff, security personnel may be called upon to eject that individual from the venue.
  • This demonstrates the forceful removal of a person from a public or private space due to their disruptive behavior, ensuring the safety and order of the environment.
