Interference with Possessory Interest
There is a substantial probability that your landlord is engaged in acts of constructive eviction, or interference with your possessory interest, under the laws of your state. Given your present financial circumstance, I suggest you contact a local legal aid office about your situation. They may be able to help, or to provide you with the name of a local attorney who can assist you.
You also may wish to check to see if you qualify for emergency housing aid, which can help you relocate. If such aid is available, the legal aid office may be able to suggest an agency which you could contact.
