Resident kicked out for threats of violence against others and unit is still vacant. Is he still responsible for the terms of the lease until it expires?

Generally speaking, yes, but the LL has a duty to mitigate his damages by re-leasing the unit out to a new tenant as soon as reasonably feasible. At that point, when the new tenants moves into the unit, the previous tenant would no longer be responsible for the rent going forward.
