Hi, I had a court hearing where we requested the judge to add the legal cost to the money order for 15 months of unpaid rent. As per the judge, this was not possible as my rental agreement does not have a clause for the tenant to pay the legal cost of eviction.

Considering the tenant has now appealed for the case to be reheard making many false stories and is clearly planning to not move out of the property and stay rent-free, I am sure I will be spending more cost with the solicitors.

Has anyone gone through this situation and is there any notice or document I can send to the tenant so any further legal cost of eviction becomes the tenant’s liability to pay?

Thanks,

Siva
