Which right is described as eviction, including actual or constructive eviction?

• A. Right to re-entry
• B. Right to sequester
• C. Right to eviction
• D. Right to mortgage

Answer: (C)

The right being tested is the landlord’s power to regain possession of the property, i.e., eviction. Eviction covers both actual eviction, where the tenant is physically removed from the premises, and constructive eviction, where the landlord’s breach of the lease (such as failing to keep the property habitable or interfering with the tenant’s use of the space) effectively forces the tenant to leave. This is the remedy a landlord uses when a tenant violates the lease or refuses to pay rent, and the process can involve notice and court action to enforce possession.

The other terms don’t describe eviction. Re-entry refers to regaining possession but isn’t the formal eviction remedy itself. Sequester is a separate legal concept involving oversight or separation in legal proceedings, not tenancy eviction. Mortgage relates to using the property as collateral for a loan, not to evicting a tenant.
