**Robb** , I think the question was answered. **ski** paid for the right to live in the apartment for the final days. If he chooses not to, and returns the keys and vacates and advises the landlord of this, the landlord is under no obligation to hold the apartment empty, and if he is able to rent it out immediately, is also under no obligation to return any rent collected from **ski**.

**ski** chose to leave early. That’s that.
