As this is not the landlord's fault you do need to pay rent.
Debra Thal (username) :
You are being compensated for not using your space.
Debra Thal (username) :
If the city was not paying you then it may have been possible to go after the landlord for the hotel accommodations though again that is not clear because it's not his fault.
Debra Thal (username) :
If you don't pay rent he can evict you.
Customer:
Thank you so much. This clarifies our situation.
