I went through a similar experience a few months ago. Landlord failed to pay his property taxes and some sharks bought it. Kept playing games and telling me to get out. I refused to give them any rent money until they fixed the place up. I was threatened, sworn at, heat turned up to 95 degrees, power turned off (ruined a monitor), entrance door taken away, locks jammed with wood shavings, and all kinds of stuff. When I called the police, they told me it was a civil issue and there was nothing they could do about it. Finally found a place after a few months. Unfortunately, I had to take a studio apt. and sign a lease for a year, but at least I'm out of there. So now I'm scrapping in a dinky little room where I can hardly move. But so be it. I'm much happier now.
