There are many factors to consider when calculating the cost of evicting a tenant. In landlord utopia (that is, where you have a tenant who works for the government and drives a Bentley with Gucci seats) the cost of the eviction is technically nothing--you would be awarded a judgment against the tenant for all your costs (if you win your case). The tenant would then have to pay you. Absent a utopian tenant, you will end up with a judgment that can't be collected for years (if ever).
These are the costs of eviction
* Preparation of eviction summons and complaint
*Cost to attend court hearings or cost to hire attorney to represent you in court
*Eviction lawsuit filing fee
*Trial preparation (if the eviction is contested)
*Sheriff's Fee (to evict the tenant)
*Lost rent (while the eviction is pending)
*Moving and Storage Fees (if the tenant does not object, you must store the tenant's property according to law)
I have not put dollar amounts in because they vary from state to state. A landlord's group in your area can give you the specific dollar amounts for eviction in your state. Please see the Related Questions below for more information.

Can a public housing authority evict a disabled tenant?
Whether a tenant is disabled does not have a bearing on whether he can be evicted. If a PHA has the right to evict a tenant then it can evict such person regardless of disability.
Can you evict the spouse of a tenant if the spouse's name is not on the lease only the tenant's?
In general, if the spouse is not listed on the lease, they may not have legal rights to remain in the rental property. However, eviction laws can vary by location, so it is important to consult with a legal professional or local housing authority for guidance on the specific situation. It may be necessary to provide notice to the tenant and spouse before proceeding with eviction.

Can a landlord evict someone living on their property when they haven't signed a lease?
I am presuming we have three components here: a landlord, a tenant, and a subtenant. The landlord in this case is presumably renting to a tenant, while the tenant is presumably renting to a subtenant. I presume that tenant has a lease while the subtenant doesn't. The tenant becomes the landlord for the subtenant. Since there is no lease (in most states subletting does not involve a lease) in this case, the tenant who is the subtenant landlord can evict the subtenant. While the main landlord can evict the tenant -which automatically evicts the subtenant -only the tenant can evict the subtenant. But the main landlord can evict all by evicting the tenant.
