So here we go. The contract is up and our lawyer has posted the next months rent down at the courts and we wait to see what happens. Lawyer seems 100% that the law will protect us. Landlord offered everyone a free months rent to give more time to find somewhere if we agreed to move out but we're staying put. He has also locked the pump room for the pool and turned off the pumps letting it go green. Someone took things into his own hands, gained access, turned on and cleaned the pool putting their own lock on. a week later the police were round demanding the lock be removed but ignorance was claimed by all. On advice from our lawyer one neighbour phoned the police complaining that the landlord was misusing the police to his own end, as he is obliged to maintain the pool. The police agreed and supposedly contacted the landlord and we've been left alone ever since - albeit paying for and maintaining the pool ourselves.
