Mitigating Damages

I had a commercial tenant on a one year lease. The tenant fell behind on the rent and would not pay. I presented tenant with a "3 Day Pay or Quit". Tenant did not pay and I proceeded with the eviction. The tenant vacated premises before court date. On our court date, tenant falsely claimed "Constructive Eviction" and alluded to a counter claim. Our court case is now set for early February.

Is posting the unit for rent on Craigslist sufficient to show an effort to mitigate damages or do I have to spend money on a print news media?
