Strongly Support!
Just Follow what JianJian said,my suggestion:
1. just phone the RLM office tell what happened to you, and try to get some suggestions.
充分了解你和房东的权利,相关办法- 这叫知己知彼。
2. Tell the landlord what you have done or what you will do.
表明你处理这事的决心和他可能的后果,尽量争取不战而屈人之兵
3.you can file a formal claim which may cost you Under &49 dollars
与他斗争到底,使他名利全损,你也须多花精力。
(Normally, you still need to pay the rent,even if you have some reasons,untill a judgement made by the goverment- a remedy which maybe reduce or free of payment)
4。通告ComeFromChina,该房东的名字,地址,以免其他人再受骗。
Good Luck
