Not giving receipt for rent is a criminal offence. Moreover you can file a police complaint for threatening to vacate the house.(Contact a local lawyer)

You may need to establish your tenancy rights by appropriate evidence. In any case, you should not pay rent without receipt.

Re: harshment from landlord

ur landlord cannot force u to vacate the house and incase he is doing so, u may file a civil suit for seeking injunction against him and in all probabilities, the same would be granted. u may start depositing rent in the court in case he refuse to accept the rent.
