This would be my first step.
If they are indeed in breach of contract, then who knows if that $7k estimate they quoted him is accurate or if they are on the hook for any of it.
Either way, he should get a second estimate.

Do you not understand the language of the contract, is that why you need an attorney? If you understand the contract, you can file (pro se) a complaint with your local magistrate against the mgmt company. Filing fees are usually not that expensive (under $200) and the complaint is usually cookie cutter, you just fill in the info. Magistrates or judges are often lenient with pro se complaints because they understand you don't have an attorney and will often walk you through the procedure. It's cheaper than hiring an attorney and it is likely the mgmt company won't even show up on the court date, giving you the judgment. Of course, the fact that you didn't have a current lease with the renters is a big no no and never make that mistake again.
