Yes, rent is still owed during a termination of residency or even an eviction. However, this may depend on the reason for the termination. If, for instance, the landlord refuses to make legally required repairs, after requesting this in writing a few times, the tenant may be legally allowed to withhold rent in the amount required to affect repairs.

Nolo Press out of Berkeley produces a line of books and on-line aids specifically targeted at helping Californians with minor legal problems, and especially evictions, tenant/landlord disputes and residency law. I strongly suggest you look them up -- see links:

Can a lawyer help in settling an eviction?

If the eviction wasn't warranted (if the landlord had no legitimate reason to evict), then, yes, an attorney could be helpful. Go back and read your lease or rental agreement again, and look to see if the reason you were evicted is listed in any of the terms of conditons, or under the terms of agreement in the lease. That will help you determine whether or not you should contact an attorney, especially if you see nothing in the lease agreement pertaining to the reason you were evicted.
