A more thorough explanation: Distraintment is a legal process by which a landlord or creditor seizes the property of a tenant or debtor in order to obtain payment of rent or debt owed. It typically involves the seizure of personal property belonging to the tenant or debtor, which may then be sold to satisfy the debt.
Example: The landlord initiated distraintment proceedings against the tenant for non-payment of rent.
