    Default Re: What Can You Do if You Discover a Landlord's Misconduct After Eviction

    In most cases, you can do nothing. The opportunity to object to notice to quit or to other defects or deficiencies in the eviction process is during the eviction case, and most claims based upon a landlord's breach of the lease would have to be raised as a counterclaim. If the issue that is alleged to constitute a breach of the lease is significant, the tenant can discuss the facts with a lawyer; but if so, it's difficult to see how the tenant would not have known about it at the time.
