unlawful detainer 不法占有 １在实际、和平但不法地取得不动产的占有〔possession〕后继续不法地占有该不动产；２最初系合法、正当地进占不动产者，在合法占有终止后仍拒绝放弃占有，从而构成对该不动产的不法占有。例如，承租人在其租期届满并经所有权人请求返还占有后，仍然占有该出租财产的，即构成不法占有。不法占有之诉〔actions of 「unlawful detainer」〕与不动产收回之诉〔ejectment〕相互区别，前者仅涉及不动产的占有，而不确定不动产所有权的最终归属问题。 (→detainer；ejectment；eviction；forcible detainer；forcible entry and detainer)
