Retaliatory eviction is a legal concept. It is a form of eviction wherein a tenant is requested to vacate by means of a formal notice. The notice is usually given after a tenant has complained about the condition of the building he is occupying. In retaliation, the landlord serves the tenant a notice. It is however illegal to practice this kind of eviction in most countries.
