Do they have another apartment, the same or better, in the same area that they could rent to one of you instead, perhaps at a discounted rate for the inconvenience?
What are you looking to get from them? They cannot give both of you the apartment however you can probably get some money out of them if you threaten to use. Forget a lawyer, anything you sue for is probably best in small claims.
How can I sue them in small claims court? What is a typical procedure?
They made a promise and didn't deliver. She has signed paperwork, she gave them a deposit, she fulfilled her part, they did not. She is entitled to an apartment. If they made a mistake, they should pay for it. Who is to say the other person gets the apartment and she just gets her deposit back? Why?

What are her losses? Nobody has said she shouldn't get her deposit back. Who is to say she should get it and not the other person, who signed the lease first.

You didn't suffer pain, you lost an aprtment you thought you had. If that is emotionally painful for you, I suggest professional help.
