QCMS Eviction Cost Calculator for Claude
Ask Claude what it would cost to evict a tenant for unpaid rent. Claude runs our calculator on your numbers and shows court costs, lost rent, turnover, your own time, and what waiting 30 more days adds.
WHAT IT DOES
What the Connector Does
The connector adds one tool to Claude. When you ask a question like “What would it cost me to evict a tenant who owes two months?”, Claude can send the numbers you gave it to the QCMS Eviction Cost Calculator and read the result back to you.
It adds up four things: court and legal costs (filing, sheriff service, writ), unpaid and lost rent while the case runs and the unit is empty, turnover and property recovery (repairs, rekey, leasing), and your own time. It then subtracts any security deposit the unpaid rent would absorb.
It also reports what waiting 30 more days adds, a voluntary move-out (cash-for-keys) break-even figure, and a step-by-step timeline in days.
Who it is for. Landlords with a tenant who has stopped paying: owners of one rental, new landlords, and owners deciding whether to file now or wait. It answers one question, with your numbers. For the dated timeline, defined terms and North Carolina considerations, use the Eviction Cost Calculator.
Queen City Management Services (QCMS), a Charlotte property management company, built it. It is free and needs no account.
EXAMPLE
What a Result Looks Like
This is real output from the connector for a tenant who pays $2,000 a month, owes two months, with a $2,000 deposit held. Inputs we did not set use the calculator’s stated defaults: one adult defendant, a $96 filing fee, $30 sheriff service, $55 writ, $1,500 in repairs, $150 rekey, a $900 leasing cost, and 15 hours of landlord time at $35 an hour, over about 87 days until rent resumes.
| Cost | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Court and legal costs | $181 |
| Unpaid and lost rent | $9,724 |
| Turnover and property recovery | $2,665 |
| Landlord time | $525 |
| Total estimated impact | $13,095 |
| After the $2,000 deposit offset | $11,095 |
On these inputs, waiting 30 more days adds about $2,000, almost entirely another month of unpaid rent. The break-even for a voluntary move-out is about $3,667. The deposit does not cover the rent: the gap of about $5,421 would be a money judgment to collect. Court and legal costs are about 1.4 percent of the total.

HOW IT WORKS
How Do You Use It?
- Add the connector. In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors, choose Add custom connector, paste
https://eviction-mcp.qcmscharlotte.com/mcp, and pick “No sign-in.” Once it is listed in Claude’s connector directory you will be able to add it from there. - Have four numbers ready. The monthly rent, how many months are unpaid, the security deposit you hold, and how many adults are on the lease.
- Ask in plain words. Copy one of these into Claude:
- “My tenant pays $2,000 a month and owes two months. I hold a $2,000 deposit. What would an eviction cost me?”
- “Same tenant, but the case is already filed and there are two adults on the lease.”
- “What would a cash-for-keys offer need to be to beat going through court?”
- “Run it again assuming the tenant appeals.”
- Approve the tool when Claude asks. Claude asks permission before it uses a connector.
- Check the assumptions. Claude lists the defaults it used. Replace them with your real fees and timing and ask it to run the estimate again.

The Connector or the Full Calculator?
The connector gives you a fast estimate inside a chat. The full Eviction Cost Calculator on our website gives you every input as an adjustable field, a dated timeline, the terms defined, and North Carolina considerations with sources. Use the connector for a first read. Use the full calculator when you are close to a decision.
If you would rather not run the timeline yourself, see what Charlotte property management with QCMS covers.
LIMITS
What Does the Connector Leave Out?
- Your lease and your facts. It does not know whether you have grounds to evict, what your lease says, or what is on your county’s court calendar.
- Things it cannot see. A payment plan, a voluntary move-out in progress, rental assistance, a bankruptcy filing, or a documentation gap can change the answer.
- Your real fees and timing. The court fees and the timeline are editable assumptions modeled on a North Carolina summary ejectment. Confirm current figures with the court clerk or an attorney.
- Advice. These are estimates. They are not legal advice and not a Queen City Management Services (QCMS) quote.
PRIVACY
What Happens to Your Numbers?
Claude sends the numbers you provided to our calculator for that one request. The calculator returns the answer and does not store the numbers. There is no account and no sign-in. Read the full privacy policy.

FAQ
Landlord Questions Answered
What is the QCMS Eviction Cost Calculator for Claude?
A free connector that lets Claude run the QCMS Eviction Cost Calculator on your numbers. It estimates what an eviction for unpaid rent would cost a landlord, including court and legal costs, unpaid and lost rent, turnover, and your time. It needs no account.
Does it store my numbers?
No. It uses the numbers Claude sends to run the calculation and return the result. It does not write them to a database or a log. The full policy is on the connector’s privacy page.
Is the biggest cost the court fees?
On the default inputs, court and sheriff fees are a small share of the total. Most of the cost is unpaid and lost rent while the case runs and the unit sits empty, which is why the connector also shows what waiting 30 more days adds. Change the inputs to see how your case differs.
Should I wait before filing?
The result shows how much another 30 days adds to your estimated exposure, almost all of it another month of unpaid rent. Whether waiting is right depends on things the calculator cannot see: a payment plan, a move-out already in progress, rental assistance, a bankruptcy filing, or a documentation gap. It is not legal advice.
Is it the same as the calculator on your website?
It uses the same math. The website version adds adjustable fields for every input, a dated timeline, defined terms, and North Carolina considerations with sources.
