1 Answer from Attorneys
Yes, the landlord can sue the tenant for the remainder, but subject to any mitigation of damages and the applicable terms of the rental agreement.
I don't have enough information to fully answer your second question. It may be a criminal trespass, but it also may only be an additional claim with the unpaid rent. But that depends on the facts and the terms of the agreement.
