Building is owned by a trust, does a tenant sue trust and landlord as an individual, or just the trust?

When suing a landlord when the building is owned by a trust, should the tenant file a lawsuit against the trustee of the trust (or the trust by and through its trustee), and should the tenant also include the landlord as an individual?

In nearly all cases the trust, itself, will not be a legal entity. You would therefore sue the trustee, as trustee for XYZ trust. If you are uncertain regarding status and because the trust may be revocable, you can also sue the trustee, individually.
You would normally sue the trustee, as trustee of the ABC trust. In some cases, you could sue the trustee individually and as trustee of the ABC trust.
