The act of a landlord in ejecting or attempting to eject a tenant from the rented premises, or in refusing to renew a lease, because of the tenant's complaints or participation in a tenant's union or in similar activities with which the landlord is not in accord. In some states, such retaliation will bar the landlord from enforcing normal eviction remedies against the tenant. Cross-referencesHow to thank TFD for its existence?
