Eviction in the United States refers to the pattern of tenant removal by landlords in the United States. In an eviction process,landlords forcibly remove tenants from their place of residence and reclaim the property. Landlords may decide to evict tenants who have failed to pay rent,violated lease terms,or possess an expired lease. Landlords may also choose not to renew a tenant's lease,however,this does not constitute an eviction. In the United States,eviction procedures,landlord rights,and tenant protections vary by state and locality. Historically,the United States has seen changes in domestic eviction rates during periods of major socio-political and economic turmoil—including the Great Depression,the 2008 Recession,and the COVID-19 pandemic. High eviction rates are driven by affordable housing shortages and rising housing costs. Across the United States,low-income and disadvantaged neighborhoods have disproportionately higher eviction rates. Certain demographics—including low income renters,Black and Hispanic renters,women,and people with children—are also at a greater risk of eviction. Additionally,eviction filings remain on renters' public records. This can make it more difficult for renters to access future housing,since most landlords will not rent to a tenant with a history of eviction. Eviction and housing instability are also linked to many negative health and life outcomes,including homelessness,poverty,and poor mental and physical health.
