You need not pay rent, but you may be liable for "use & occupancy." Retain a local L&T lawyer to discuss your options, as more facts are needed and there is only so much advice a lawyer will post in this forum.

If you have a signed contract you may file a Lis Pendens (Notice of Pendency) and commence an action for specific performance, assuming you did not waive your right to do so. If you have no signed contract, you have no recourse other than a return of any deposits delivered.

If you can locate him and/or his company, you should definitely sue for breach of contract and replacement damage.
