The general rule is that the lessee's obligation to pay rent does not depend upon upon his occupancy of the premises. If you are are evicted the landlord has the right to seek a judgment for the rent owing for the balance of the lease unless he can re-rent it and recover his losses. I have included a link to some FAQs about Kentucky landlord tenant laws. Good luck.
