Ejectment is a term primarily used in legal and real estate contexts in English-speaking countries. In Brazil, 'despejo' carries significant social weight, as housing disputes often involve vulnerable populations. The process is heavily regulated by law in both the USA and Brazil, with tenants typically having legal protections and notice periods before eviction can take place.
