Just and equitable eviction
A fairness assessment used by a court in eviction matters, including whether eviction is legally justified and what timing or conditions may be appropriate.
Definition
Just and equitable eviction questions should be handled through the court papers, occupation history, lease or ownership facts, notices, service proof, household circumstances, children or vulnerable occupiers where relevant, municipality involvement, alternative accommodation issues, arrears records, and any prior settlement attempts. It is a court assessment, not a shortcut or self-help remedy.
