Heck yeah he pays rent.

The amount they pay for the Wakefield offices appears to be variable:
"The Company has as its corporate headquarters 301 Edgewater Place - Suite 100, Wakefield, MA 01880, a facility that maintains our virtual offices, and if needed, the use of physical offices, meeting rooms, and business support services on a fee for use basis. All our employees and consultants work remotely."

But they still pay $19k/month to Cummins for the abandoned Beverly space. You can walk away from the property but not the obligation to pay for it.
Last years IPIX 10K said this:
"On October 1, 2018, the Company’s lease agreement with Cummings Properties automatically renewed. The lease is for a term of five years ending on September 30, 2023, and requires monthly payments of approximately $19,000. The Company currently uses this leased premise as its Corporate headquarters space. The Company is actively looking for a subtenant for this entire office space."

This years 10K said this:
"On January 22, 2020, the Company filed a complaint against Cummings Properties, LLC in the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (C.A. No. 20-77CV00101), seeking, among other things, declaratory relief that the lease for the Company’s prior principal executive offices did not automatically extend for an additional five years from September 2018, return of the Company’s security deposit, and damages. This action is in the preliminary stages and the Company is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome or reasonably estimate the loss or gain, if any."
