Idk if this is the right sub but… my dad just got fired for no reason, what options is there now?

If not the right sub can someone tell me where else to post My dad (55 y/o) had been working at this place for over a decade and they decided they “no longer need his services”.

Is this enough evidence to prove about damage since she moved in if the landlord admits to it over text? I’ve since, since moving in, told her to always leave a paper trail. Take pictures etc when moving…
