> Renoviction

That's very common word these days at least here in PEI. Kicking people out to "renovate".

It basically means renovate as in sweep the floor and paint a small patch on the wall, done. All so they can kick out the tenant and up the rent 1,000%.

It's interesting because it's a term that emerged due to a legal allowance (renovation+eviction: allowance to evict a tenant when major renovations to a building have to be done).

What other legal-derived portmanteaus are there?

There's something human and clever and beautiful in the smart portmanteau in that it just communicates an idea so well.
