Yes, only a court can order a tenant to be "evicted".

The most a a landlord can legally do is ask the tenant to leave.

If they don't, a judge must first hear the matter and issue a judgment; usually an eviction order.

That order then is levied by a law enforcement official against the tenant.

Ultimately, the tenant leaves or is forcibly removed by the law enforcement official.
