Advice regarding cash for keys-possible broker breach of contract

If anyone is familiar with how a cash for keys contract works, please let me know.                                                                 My daughter rented a house for 3 years and her LL sold it to a broker. That broker decided after 2 months to give her and her family, 4 kids, one a baby, an eviction notice to pay 5200.00 dollars (they had no lease for this to be determined from) and vacate in 3 days or a  cash for keys offer to accept 1500.00 and leave in 10 days and they would wire the funds the day after they vacated.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The original cash for keys contract was pre dated by the broker and had an invalid date (the year was 2002) that they were going to wire the funds. I advised that they have a new contract drawn up with a corrected date and no pre dated signature lines. They vacated the house on 5/11/2022 and have not received the funds as the contract stated they would. They left the house in better shape than it was in when they moved into it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The brokers are going to be doing extensive work on this house inside and out so it's not a damage issue.  It is going to be a complete remodel. What rights do they have to get the money owed to them? They have been forced to live in a hotel until they can find a place to live.
