How to say "eviction" in Japanese
- 追放ついほうnoun, suru verb, transitive verbIt means exile, banishment or deportation — being driven out of a country, group or position; 'eviction' is only a peripheral gloss, so this is seldom the word you want for a tenant's removal.
- 立ち退きたちのきnounCovers eviction in the landlord-tenant sense: the vacating of a house, apartment or shop, typically because the landlord requires it or the building is to be demolished.
- 追い立ておいたてnounThe act of driving someone out of premises or land; it covers ejection and dispossession as well as eviction, with a nuance of people being pushed out rather than simply vacating.
For eviction from rented housing use 「立ち退き」, which frames it as the tenant vacating; 「追い立て」 highlights the forceful driving-out; 追放 is really banishment, expulsion or deportation, matching 'eviction' only marginally.
