He can file a complaint in your local magistrate's district court to evict you and obtain past due rent. there are certain actions you can take to delay this, but you should consult with a lawyer for help. For example, if your the district Judge evicts you, you can file an appeal, and as long as you pay your monthly rent to the prothonotary, you can't be put out until the appeal is finally decided, which can buy you a few months. In the meantime, I'd look for a new place to live.
