What is the ruling of Islamic law regarding a landlord's refusal to refund the rent for an apartment, given that the tenant has not resided in it and there are approximately ten days remaining until the start of the contract?

Scholars have differed regarding the annulment of a lease contract due to an excuse. The Hanafis and those who agreed with them held that annulment is permissible if there is an excuse that prevents the utilization of the leased property or harms the lessee, basing their argument on the Almighty's saying: "{He has explained to you in detail what is forbidden to you, except that to which you are compelled}" and "{and has not placed upon you any difficulty in religion}." In contrast, the majority of scholars held that a lease contract is not annulled by a sudden excuse, and that such an excuse does not establish the option of annulment. Based on the view of the majority, the lessor has the right to adhere to the contract and not refund the amount in the event of an excuse on the part of the lessee.
