Default apt mgr. needs to prove atthority evicted me

i was evicted and went to court magistrait ruled against me with out hearing case, then i went to manditory arbutration. the arbutrator settled it with 1/3 of what the mgr wanted the first time.. all this time every lawyer i talk to is saying that this is obvious wrongfull eviction..
now i am in crisis housing and have a stain on my other wise perfect rental record. (i am 57 years ol)
the mgr. needed to rid of me because i had been an employee of the previous mgr and was friends with the corporate office. she doesnt have any experience in this job and some how pulled one over, i knew that and reported her for turning off water in the apts of late payers.
the process she did was not carried out legal no 10 day after grace(in contract)
no account for deposit. 6 months has lapsed and she wont give it to me or tell me why no return)
agreed by fax to accept a check from a charity to make up the rent. filed 1 day after writen agreement.
the decrepencys are many!!!!!!! my point is if she would have kept her bargan with the charity. i would have had more than 10 days to move ,, i would not owe any money either to the court or for partial rent.. i would not be in crisis housing, i would not be having trouble renting another apt. i would not have been evicted.
can i still sue them for wrongfull eviction? please advise is there a time limit?

I am a bit confused. You said they ruled against you already. Why wasn't the wrongful eviction brought up in court? You say he didn't hear the case. Did you show up? did you have an attorney? If you went to court, it isn't possible he allowed one person to talk and you to not talk. If he ruled against you, what was his ruling? What did he say? Please clarify.

In the mean while, let me point out a few things. First, faxes are usually not considered legally binding. In other words, communication must be in writing ( not faxed ). Secondly, what does your being friends with the previous owner and friends with the company have to do with anything? Thirdly, you say she wasn't qualified, but the fact is, the company HIRED her in spite of your opinions about her qualifications. In any regard, what is the relevance of those facts to your posting, that you were wrongfully evicted? And, if the judge has already ruled against you, you cannot ask for another hearing on the same issue, unless it is an appeal.
