Obviously you know these people you are sending to him as you are emailing them. They are making the decision NOT to take your apt. My gripe would be with them, not the landlord. They took the deal knowing you needed them to get out. They backstabbed you, not the Landlord.

How can I prove that my landlord stole my replacement tenants?
My landlord said I could get out of my lease if I found somebody to replace me. So far, he's taken every person I've sent as a replacement and put them into a new apartment -- without letting me out! Three of them told me this through e-mail. The other ones I just never heard from again! Apparently, he told me that he was renting for a certain rate and a certain lease term -- and then turned around and offered my replacements a better deal! What do I need to prove that he's doing this in court? Are e-mails enough, or do I need witness statements? It is illegal, right???How can I prove that my landlord stole my replacement tenants?Probably is as they are acceptable to him, so he can't say you haven't found an acceptable tenant to replace you.How can I prove that my landlord stole my replacement tenants?I doubt that he's done anything illegal. You could consult a lawyer, though, for a formal opinion on whether or not you have a case.How can I prove that my landlord stole my replacement tenants?If you have a paper trail with your email, I would present this information to an attorney. If this person has a real estate management license, you can call your local real estate board and talk to a person there. They MUST take action and look into it if you have proof and file a complaint.How can I prove that my landlord stole my replacement tenants?If he is advertising the other units at a better deal (cheaper rent, rent insentives) there is nothing you can do. Who is going to pay the rent you pay if they can get it cheaper new? He has every right to mention to them the insentives he has for his apartments and then its THEIR decision. Sorry dear, its not illegal. Its business. So unless you find someone dumb enough to take the higher priced apt, you are stuck.
