One of the unfortunate realities here that the evicting landlord on occasion becomes complicit in helping the undesirable tenant find a new place (something the tenant will need to do if they are not staying with friends) [And by the way, "staying with friends" often ends of being a problem for yet another landlord.]
The tenant being being eased out demands that the landlord give a good reference. (They won't leave until they find a new place.)
We had an interesting experience trying to verify a reference for someone seeking to rent. Called the landlord; he just sent us a short text (the tenant is fine) and would never answer his phone. When we finally reached him in person he started hemming and hawing when we questioned the tenant's qualifications in detail. He was finally honest enough to be straight on this situation.
Just one more thing to watch for...
