Yes. Since the tenant broke the lease, they would certainly have to pay rent. However, the tenant paying rent would not limit the landlord's right to collect damages from the tenant's breach of the lease.
If the landlord breached the lease, the tenant would still have to pay rent. However, the tenant could take legal action against the landlord to recover damages for the landlord's breach.
In either event, if you have questions about your specific situation, you should contact a lawyer or tenant's union in your area.
