How does one explain "eviction" or write it in Spanish?

I don't believe it's a cognate such that 'eviccion' would work (accent over the 'o') and a cheap, small dictionary that I use says 'desahuciar' which I never heard before nor does it sound right to me.

Anyone?

Hi, Zorro. Never heard of *evicción (I don't think it exists). "Deshauciar" is perfect, even if it doesn't sound right to you. Other possibilities: "desalojar", "echar a la calle".

Evicción does exist but I believe Desalojo is more common. However, I think in this case its a matter of what applies more to your translation.
This is what Real Academia Española writes:
Desalojar
1. tr. Sacar o hacer salir de un lugar a alguien o algo.

2. tr. Abandonar un puesto o un lugar.

3. tr. desplazar.

4. intr. Dejar el hospedaje, sitio o morada voluntariamente.

But they also write:

Evicción.



1. f. Der. Pérdida de un derecho por sentencia firme y en virtud de derecho anterior ajeno.

So, I conclude you really have to see what applies the most in this case.

Hope it helps!!!!

the noun is deshaucio; desalojo. And the infinitive is like the girls said: deshauciar, desalojar

Hi... both desahuciar and desalojar are good, but desalojar is most common..

Good luck

Hi Zorro,

"Evicción" is perfectly valid in Spanish. It's the legal term for eviction, so I think you should use "evicción" if the term is included in a legal document, i. e. a lease agreement.

Deshaucio is widely used in latin america.

hi, I would go with this term too. Evicción DOES exist, but is widely unknown.

Hi there! In the context of leases, I would definitely go for "desalojo". In Argentina, that is the legal term we use to refer to "eviction".

I looked up the term "desahucio" at the RAE website and I discovered that it actually exists. I don't know if you use it in Spain or in some other country. Perhaps, you could tell us which is the terminology you use in other Spanish-speaking countries.

Please note that the term "evicción" does actually exist in Spanish, but it means something different. It's a contractual warranty a transferor grants when conveying property thereby warranting quiet enjoyment or good title to the property.

Hope it's useful!
