摘要：This paper examines the causes and methods of tenant eviction in property management practice in Ilorin metropolis, Nigeria with a view to suggesting measures aimed at reducing its incidence. The 16 registered estate surveyors and valuers in the study area were surveyed with a structured questionnaire. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics. The study’s result revealed that rent default which accounted for 57.66% of the reasons for evictions was the most important. The most significant method adopted for evicting tenants was quit notice. This paper provides a basic guideline for policy makers to seek a solution to eviction problems. It also provides an alternative method of eviction which is relatively less expensive and time consuming.
