You would greatly benefit from contacting the courthouse about landlord/tenant laws, if you can't get info there, call the BBB.

A landlord should not be able to evict verbally. In some cases, if the landlord has it in the lease that he doesn't have to fix minor things, then it falls on the tenant to fix them.
If, however it states in the lease that the landlord is the one to maintain the property, then he is the one to fix something, but if you broke it, or a child, for instance, or on purpose then he can fix it, but you have to pay for the repair. Hope this helps.
