A: When you say they were evicted, do you mean they were told to leave and did? Or was an eviction lawsuit filed and they lost? Or is a lawsuit still going on? If they voluntarily left, or if they went to trial and lost, it likely is too late to do much. Otherwise they should immediately review everything with a local landlord-tenant attorney.
