The police would tell you this is a civil matter, and wouldn't get involved and usually tell LL's that he would have to be evicted. If the guy moving in had a key to the place, technically he has possession and the locks can't just be changed, that would be constructive eviction. Even though he has no written lease, he's on a month to month. The LL or the manager is going to have to give him a 30 day notice (whatever your state requirement is) to move, and if he doesn't move in 30 days, then the guy will have to be evicted in court.

No. It's a criminal matter. The key was stolen. The old super was supposed to return the key when he terminated his position. This guy is trespassing AND knowingly received stolen property. You need to use your brain.

The old super who is now not allowed back into the building has not turned in his keys to the building and the guy in mention should have never received a key to any apartment.
