Question:
If I rented an apartment already in 5779 and already lived in it and paid the rent until and including nissan 5780 but now I am out of the country and can not return to Eretz Yisroel because the authorities do not allow to enter the country- I must mention that I have still my personal belongings in the apartment – and my contract is still for the next few months, do I still have to pay the full/part or nothing of the rent for the next few months until the contract expires?
Thank you in advance
