Can a landlord force a tenant to continue paying rent until another tenant moves in?

Yes, in most cases, if the tenant moved out while in lease, up to the time the lease would have expired or a tenant moved in. Not sure how you force anyone to do anything. But, your tenant is liable for the rent through his lease or until the unit is re-rented which ever comes first. However, the tenant can not be charged the rent until the rent is actually due, so the total you are owed will accrue each new month within his or her lease. I have an article about this on my blog at www.thelandlorddoctor.com or contact me at Bill@thelandlorddoctor.com Good luck! Bill

When should a tenant stop paying rent for delinquent taxes?
The tenant should stop paying rent whenever the governmental agency to whom the taxes are owed threatens to foreclose or repossess the property. In that case, the tenant should demand (in writing) that the landlord pay the delinquent taxes. If the landlord refuses, the tenant should move (again, upon giving written notice to the landlord).
What are tenants options when landlord foreclose?
For the purposes of answering this question, I presume that the tenant is a rental tenant and that the Landlord is under foreclosure. Tenant must continue to pay the rent to the landlord as long as they have control over the property. The Foreclosing company, once it takes over, must give the tenant specific instructions on to whom and where to pay their rent.

Can a tenant stop paying rent after sending a certfied letter to the landlord for not making repairs?
No. Rent must still be paid. One violation of the landlord tenant agreement is not legitimate mitigation of another. What you can do, however, is set up a non-interest bearing escrow account and pay the rent to that. You must notify the landlord that this is being done. This is to protect yourself from eviction proceedings.
Is the landlord or tenant responsible for plumbing damage?
Any damages caused to a building which is under lease and which are directly caused by the tenant are normally deducted from the bond if necessary. Otherwise, the tenant is responsible for paying for the repairs, but it is the landlord/homeowner who must get the repairs done (they then pass the bill on).

A 1099 is a miscellaneous income tax form. Unless the tenant was an employee of the landlord, there would never be a need for a tax form.
