The only way you can get out of paying is if you amended your leasing contract--in writing--and both you and your landlord signed the amendment. Otherwise your original lease agreement overrides any verbal agreement you might have thought you had with your landlord, and you can be sued, possibly even evicted if you don't pay the past due amount. (Your landlord must follow proper eviction procedures--contact your local housing agency or non-profit credit counseling agency for more info about landlord-tenant law) Damage control: If you're landlord is being untruthful, you can try to get him to acknowledge the lease amendment that you agreed on verbally or you might want to try recording voice conversations from now on with your landlord and hope he slips up. If you end up in court anyone who knows of the rent amendment and witnessed the agreement being made would be an important person to bring with you to court. Good Luck and always, always, ALWAYS, GET IT IN WRITING!!!

If a landlord loses the rent is renter still liable?

Are you saying that you paid the rent and then the landlord lost the payment? You would have to determine at which point the rent was lost. For instance, if the check never arrived in the mail and was not cashed, then it wasn't the fault of the landlord. If it is a personal check, then payment could be stopped and the check replaced, without a problem.
