A landlord who wants to evict a tenant must have a good reason (legal cause) to do so. West Virginia defines legal cause as failing to pay rent, violating the lease or rental agreement, or damaging the rental unit. To evict the tenant for one of these reasons, the landlord must first terminate the tenancy.
Courts commonly refer to eviction actions as "forcible entry and detainer" or "unlawful detainer" actions. The legal theory is that the landlord alleges the tenant unlawfully continues to have use and possession of the rental property, and the landlord seeks the assistance of the court to have the tenant removed.
