In general, tenants are required to pay rent as stipulated in the lease agreement. Failure to pay rent can result in penalties, such as late fees or eviction. However, some jurisdictions have implemented temporary eviction bans or rent relief measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is always best to consult local laws and regulations for specific requirements and protections.

Some Housing Authorities will pay the security deposit as well as the first months rent for a tenant. What I mean by rent is their portion of the rent: the tenant is still obliged to pay their portion of the rent. But very few housing authorities do this.

When a tenant doesn't pay his rent the landlord may begin eviction proceedings in court, which forces the tenant to move.
As you phrase the question, no the tenant is always obliged to pay owed rent. Just because they are thinking of leaving doesn't release them.

This is usually the standard requirement on a lease; absent a lease he cannot require this. But if you plan to move out before the lease expires then the landlord can require for you to find a replacement tenant, or you may be required to pay the rent for as long as the unit remains unoccupied, up to the time he finds a new tenant or the lease expires, whichever comes first.

Until the foreclosure sale happens, the tenant owes the rent to the landlord. What is happening between the landlord and tenant is really none of the tenant's business. And, yes, a landlord can certainly ask the tenant to pay the rent to someone else, acting as an agent. However, the tenant would be within his rights to say, "No, I'll only pay to the landlord."
Yes: as long a you are a tenant in a dwelling at the hands of a landlord, you are renting from him and must pay rent.
