When can a landlord seize a property as vacated?

My apartment lease is up in 2 months but I need to move out of state to stay with a sick relative. If I continue to pay rent and utilities for the remainder of the lease, can the landlord legally seize the property as vacant during that time? I have reached out to the landlord and she is absolutely not interested in helping me out.No details are given in the lease about when it can be considered vacated.
