It is not clear what the issue is here, but I will guess that because of the lack of rent, you are unable to make your plan payments. Your lawyer should be able to help. You may be entitled to a plan modification to reduce your payments from when the rent stopped, or to obtain a hardship discharge. See your lawyer immediately.
