The answer to "can I sue" is always yes.  If in fact the proposed tenant breached a valid lease contract, there would be no reason you can't sue them for breach.  Of course, that doesn't mean that you would win; I don't know what defenses may be raised  Also, if you rent the place to someone else for the same or more money, your damages may be very little.
