Since there is no evidence that Kirkendall caused or occasioned the fire, we concur in the RHC’s interpretation of this provision. Under the agency’s interpretation, Kirken-dall’s tenancy continued, but his obligation to pay rent was suspended. Thus, under both D.C.Code § 45 — 1561(f) (1981) and Kirkendall’s lease, Kirkendall was still a tenant in Temple’s building unless and until such time as Temple rehabilitated the unit and Kirkendall rejected the opportunity to return.
