Explained in plain English

Who pays for an eviction?

The landlord typically pays the initial legal and court fees for an eviction. However, these costs can often be added to the tenant's outstanding debt, which they are legally obliged to pay. This can significantly increase the financial burden on individuals already struggling with housing costs.
