Well you owe the money the landlord want it, so what are you going to do about it?
You are a month to month renter so move, it will only get worse. Judges will allow you to stay if you pay ALL the rent......ALL the rent.... plus legal costs BEFORE you have a trial...IF you have a lease!
But judges since you have no lease will say pay up and get out...
So Pay the landlord what you owe, get a release take pictures of the apartment,and sell your stuff on

I guess you need to be reminded the #1 rule in Life Skills:
THE LANDLORD ALWAYS GETS PAID FIRST !!!!!!!
