If your loved one is on a government subsidy the landlord is still getting money and they don't ask you to pay when your in patient at a hospital or rehab. Most SSI and some SSD are receiving help. And God forbid your love one passes they will give you a month to clean out the unit or they will do it no charge.

Give the landlord notice promptly and return the unit tidy and without damage.

If you can find a new tenant that the landlord will accept that would be great.

Generally, even if you are on a lease, the landlord is required to take effort to re-rent the unit and once it is re-rented, you aren't required to pay rent on it yourself. In my high demand area, this often results in nothing more than the last month's rent being kept by the landlord, even on an early lease termination.

Note that if you are keeping your stuff in the unit because you intend to return, you do have to pay rent at both places you (or your stuff) are "occupying". This gets expensive, but if you are paying all the bills yourself it can work for short periods of time. Once Medicaid gets involved, they won't support this, all your income (except a small allowance) goes towards your share of the facility costs.

Ditto to talking to your landlord or leasing office WELL BEFORE you intend to leave. You should review the terms of your lease so you can have an informed discussion and negotiation with them, if necessary.

Moving means giving up one rental and moving to another. So your previous rental home/apartment will be given up and you will move what possessions you can move to your new place. I am uncertain of the details of your question really. It is simply like moving any other time you move, no matter what state you live in. If you have moved out of necessity make this clear to your landlord. We are landlords and would never pursue someone for a lease if they felt it necessary to move to a higher level of care than they could get independently. In fact, housing is at a premium where we live as far as cost goes and we could easily replace a renter who leaves; it would never be worth our time or trouble to pursue someone with a rental lease. Speak to your landlord.

It depends on the terms of your lease.
