I was evicted and my landlord is seeking payment for the remainder of my lease, approx $5000.00. It is stated in my lease that they can do this, do I have any options?

It really depends on the exact terms of the lease and other facts. It also depends on the terms of any order on eviction, if one was issued. One critical fact is evidence of the damages and what the landlord did to mitigate damages. It is pretty complex, and given that we are talking of a substantial sum, you should speak with an attorney and provide them the lease and other facts. You may have some options for negotiation or defense, if they sue.
Good luck.
