Cost of Eviction in Philadelphia

I am contemplating an eviction of a tenant in Philadelphia who is many months behind. However, I wanted to see if I could get an estimate of how much the whole process will cost. Assume the following:

- It is not registered yet / I don't have a license for the property yet

- The lease is in default

- I will do all the legal paperwork myself and will not use an attorney

Also, if someone could explain the step-by-step (e.g. Step 1: register the property, Step 2: complete a rental suitability form, etc.) from their experience that would be super helpful.

As landlords, I think, we are doing a disservice to each other, because cash for keys promote this kind of behavior. Nothing is on their record and they are off to yet another property with a pocket of cash that you just gave them aside from months of living for free.
