If a landlord loses the rent is renter still liable?
Are you saying that you paid the rent and then the landlord lost the payment? You would have to determine at which point the rent was lost. For instance, if the check never arrived in the mail and was not cashed, then it wasn't the fault of the landlord. If it is a personal check, then payment could be stopped and the check replaced, without a problem.
If your landlord lost your signed lease and that was the only copy are you liable to stay in that apartment?
The landlord must give you a copy of your lease within 30 days. There is usually a paper you both sign saying you received it. If it is lost you are not liable to stay in the apartment. On the other hand, this also means the landlord can evict you or raise your rent on you without warning because of no proper documentation.

How can you avoid getting in trouble with your landlord if you've lost the extra keys to your apartment?
Make another set of keys. Or just tell them that you accidently lost your extra set. * It might be wise to consider the issue of security, regardless of how remote the possiblity might be of someone being able to use them. The best option would be to tell the landlord what has happened and pay for the locks to be changed and the extra set of new keys.

How much it will cost you to evict a tenant?
There are many factors to consider when calculating the cost of evicting a tenant. In landlord utopia (that is, where you have a tenant who works for the government and drives a Bentley with Gucci seats) the cost of the eviction is technically nothing--you would be awarded a judgment against the tenant for all your costs (if you win your case). The tenant would then have to pay you. Absent a utopian tenant, you will end up with a judgment that can't be collected for years (if ever).These are the costs of eviction* Preparation of eviction summons and complaint*Cost to attend court hearings or cost to hire attorney to represent you in court*Eviction lawsuit filing fee*Trial preparation (if the eviction is contested)*Sheriff's Fee (to evict the tenant)*Lost rent (while the eviction is pending)*Moving and Storage Fees (if the tenant does not object, you must store the tenant's property according to law)I have not put dollar amounts in because they vary from state to state. A landlord's group in your area can give you the specific dollar amounts for eviction in your state. Please see the Related Questions below for more information.
Benefits of Hiring an Eviction Lawyer?
Due to poor overall economic conditions, many people have either lost their job or lost a considerable amount of their income. While unemployment benefits can cover a fraction of their past income, it is often not enough to support a person and their family. Unfortunately, many people who are struggling financially are unable to continue paying their rent and are faced with eviction notices from their landlords. Luckily, a person who is behind on their rent and facing eviction could hire an eviction attorney to ensure their rights are not violated. Hiring an eviction attorney could help an individual a few different ways. The first way that an eviction lawyer could help a person is by slowing the eviction process. When you start falling behind on rent payments, many landlords will begin sending you formal eviction notices. These notices will typically address how late you are, how much money you owe, and when you are required to exit the premises. Depending on the situation, this may be an effort by the landlord to scare you or they could be serious about suing you in court. In any event, it would be a good idea to hire an eviction attorney. An eviction attorney will contact the landlord to stop sending notices and will attempt to negotiate a way for you to pay back the amount you owe and keep you in your home. If your landlord decides to pursue a lawsuit, an attorney will represent you in court and will try and delay to process to keep you in the home as long as possible. The second way that an eviction lawyer could help you is if your landlord has stopped providing some services to you if you have stopped paying rent. In some situations, a landlord may choose to not send a formal eviction notice to you, but will instead try to withhold services from you, such as turning off gas or electricity to the home. If this occurs, an eviction attorney could help you by sending notices to the landlord threatening legal action unless the utilities are put back on. The third way an eviction attorney could help is by forcing the landlord to reimburse you for expenses you incurred. If you are evicted, the attorney could attempt to force the lawyer to reimburse you for any security deposit or prepaid rent you put forth when you signed your lease.
