When a contract is broken, the law requires that you mitigate your damages. In the case of a tenant breaking a lease, that means you have to mitigate your damages by finding a new tenant.

Even if you can't find a tenant, the court would likely award you only 2 months rent from your current tenant, even without the emails.

It is also likely that the emails will hold up in court.

You won't get any money by suing your current tenant. You need to keep lookin for a new tenant.
