Yes, if you still under the lease, however, the landlord has an obligation to mitigate damages (release the apartment which will reduce your liability).

I would need additional details, however, if a landlord for no good reason makes it impossible for you to occupy the rental the lease obligation is at an end.

If you violated the terms of your lease and the landlord evicted you because of that, then yes, you are responsible for rent for the entire lease term.

No, an eviction terminates the tenancy and relieves all parties of all obligations under the agreement.

That depends on the reason for the eviction. If you have any defenses, don?t pay the rent. If the landlord did not follow proper eviction procedures through the court and constable, you may have a lawsuit.
