How is an eviction carried out?

The property owner must personally carry out the eviction, while the role of the district commissioner is to oversee the process and ensure it is conducted legally. The commissioner is responsible for summoning the police if necessary and contacting the child protection committee if children under the age of 18 reside on the property.

Further information about the eviction process can be found here.
