Häädöt, often translated as evictions, refers to the legal process by which a landlord can remove a tenant from a rental property. This process is typically initiated when a tenant breaches the terms of their lease agreement. Common reasons for eviction include non-payment of rent, causing damage to the property, engaging in illegal activities on the premises, or violating other lease clauses.

The specific procedures for häädöt vary by jurisdiction, but generally involve formal notification. The landlord must typically provide the tenant with a written notice detailing the reason for eviction and a timeframe within which the tenant must rectify the situation or vacate the property. If the tenant fails to comply with the notice, the landlord can then proceed to file a lawsuit seeking a court order for possession of the property.

A court hearing is usually required, where both the landlord and tenant have the opportunity to present their case. If the court rules in favor of the landlord, a judgment for possession is issued. Law enforcement officers, such as bailiffs or sheriffs, are then responsible for carrying out the physical eviction if the tenant still refuses to leave. Tenants have certain rights throughout the eviction process, and landlords must adhere to legal protocols to ensure the eviction is lawful. Unlawful evictions, such as changing locks or removing a tenant's belongings without a court order, are illegal.
