Whether or not you have to continue paying money to your landlord post eviction until your rental is leased out to another person or the lease expires depends upon why the eviction process against you began.
If you are in breach of your lease for failing to pay rent in a timely manner and your are actually evicted for this reason, you would be obligated from the presumed written lease contract to keep paying the monthly rental on the unit until a new tenant is placed or the term of your lease ends.
