That's probably because she left without a fight.. .I have a friend who is a paralegal for a LL/T attorney. They've fought evictions and have had tenants in the apartments for over a year after an eviction notice. It's all a matter of how much fight the tenant wants to put into it and having the right attorney.
In this person's case, he/she should not give the LL a penny in rent. The LL is not entitled to it. As a matter of fact, the OP can sue the LL and recoup the rent he/she has already paid to the LL, as well as suing for moving expenses, etc. Chances are the OP will be successful in court.
