Because T has the obligation to return to the unit, he would be obliged to seek a short term rental, M2M or extended-stay motel. There are plenty of alternative accomodations in situations such as this. Only the unavailability of such accomodations would convince a judge that T had to sign a lease elsewhere.

The tenant may not necessarily have an obligation to return to the unit due to condition. If the condition of the unit makes it uninhabital for X amount of time, it is reasonable for a tenant to find another dwelling in which to reside. A week or two is one thing, but the original post spoke of fire. Again, condition and circumstance would be deemed by any reasonable judge.
