What legal process prevents a person from re-entering a property?

The correct answer pertains to actual eviction, which is a legal process that involves the removal of a tenant from a property by the landlord or property owner, often through a court order. This process is used when a tenant fails to comply with the terms of their lease, such as non-payment of rent or violation of lease conditions. Once an actual eviction has been executed, the tenant is legally barred from returning to the property, unless they regain permission from the landlord or through a specific legal process.

In this context, constructive eviction, while relevant to the tenant's rights, differs because it refers to situations where a landlord fails to maintain the property in a habitable condition, effectively forcing the tenant to leave without formal eviction proceedings. Judicial foreclosure relates specifically to the process lenders use to reclaim property due to mortgage default, and unlawful detainer is a legal action that allows a property owner to obtain possession of a property when someone is unlawfully remaining. However, the legal process that directly results in the removal of the tenant and prevents them from returning is actual eviction.
