Your answer really depends on state law. For example in California, tenants have a bunch of legal rights when it comes to eviction. So if the landlord fails to follow eviction procedures exactly the tenant can get money or stay in the rental place longer. There is a good overview of tenant rights at this website to give you an idea. Many cities have low cost mediation services for tenant/landlord disputes that may be of help to you. Good luck.
