We are two months behind in our rent.

We are two months behind in our rent. We have been paying the landlord off little by little. Now he is threatening to turn off my lights and telling me that i have to leave in 20 days. We have been living there for three and a half years. He doesnt fix the apartment. I have mold issues in my bathroom. None of my windows open properly. and the ceiling in the hallway is about to cave in because of a leak that happend about six months ago and the light switch because of that leak is shorting out. I need to know what my rights are as far as this situation is. Im not going to let him stronghold us. We do not have a lease we are paying him month to month. Is this legal?

termination contract received
we already issued a ”termination of a
month to month lease” to the
tenants we have in the basement,he
received and signed the copy. it will
be in effect january 10 because that
was the date he received it. my
question is, if they do not leave on
that date hat should we do, can we
also report them to a credit bureau
for non payment of rent? (we do not
want the money for the non
payment of rent, we just want them
not to do it to other landlords). Hope
someone can answer my questions.
Thanks in advance.

Month to Monthy Tenancy Does my old landlord have the right to take me to court…

Month to Monthy Tenancy
Does my old landlord have the right to take me to court for the following situation: My landlord worked out an oral agreement with an occupant of my apartment allowing him to stay on after the lease had expired. He gave him a vacany lease application. While waiting for the application to be processed, the lease expired, and I left the apartment. I had given notice that I was not resigning a month earlier. The problem is, the occupant was not on the lease, but I was. He was subsequently denied a lease of his own, and after 4 months of eviction proceedings, he left the apartment. Now the landlord is suing me for the rent for the time after my lease expired, saying that in effect I had a month to month tenancy because I didn’t turn over the apartment to him empty. What are my rights in this case?
