If the landlord has violated a term or terms of the lease agreement, you would have a breach of contract claim against him. Conversely, if you have failed to pay rent, you have also violated the lease and would be subject to an eviction. In commercial rentals the terms of the lease will dictate. If you pursue your claim, it is probably safe to say that the landlord will evict you.

Regarding your other issue, the landlord is generally not restricted from relaying truthful information to anyone unless the lease restricts it, which would be rare.
