evicted
Declined
More context would be welcome. 'Evicted' would fit here if 'deshauciada' refers to somebody who's been thrown out of her/his own house or who's been left with nothing (no property or money...)But it can also, maybe, be used in a more metaphoric way, in which case I don't know whether 'evicted' would be correct here.
