Can a landlord sue for future rent in Maryland?
Yes, a landlord in Maryland can sue for future rent if the tenant breaks the lease agreement. However, the landlord has a duty to mitigate damages by making reasonable efforts to find a new tenant. If the landlord finds a new tenant, the tenant who broke the lease agreement will only be responsible for the rent until the new tenant moves in.

Of course not. A lease is a legal contract that is enforceable in court. Moving out doesn't terminate the lease. When you sign a lease you are responsible for the full duration of the lease. You may need to sue your co-tenant. You should consult with an attorney or with a landlord-tenant agency in your town.

It depends. If the sub-tenant was there by right and the landlord allowed a sub-lease, then that's a situation where nothing has gone wrong. If the landlord is suing, it sounds instead like the tenant did not have the right to sublet and in that case they are responsible to complete the lease and the sub-tenant may not have had the right to be there.

That tenant may be able to sue you if they can demonstrate that as a result of your actions (or in this case-inaction to pay the mortgage) they incurred financial damages.

Normally the bankruptcy filing has nothing to do with whether or not the tenant has paid his rent.

If the tenant pays the rent, he should not be evicted.
