You can be evicted for failure to pay rent. If you feel that repairs were part of the rental agreement, there is a process for reducing your rent payment to have that done. It does not appear that you have followed that procedure.
If a landlord obtains a judgment for unlawful detainer or rent and possession, they cannot just walk out of the court room and throw the defendants belongings into the street, without exposing themselves to a suit form that tenant for the value of those belongings.
Good luck
