1) Change the locks with the landlord's permission AND KEY TO LANDLORD.
2) IF THREAT WAS TO COMMIT A CRIME,report it to the police or seek a criminal complaint from the clerk of the District Court.
3) Apply to District Court Clerk for a restraining order under General Laws c. 209A.
Good Luck!

You can report it to the police and have criminal charges pressed. Obviously you can also change the locks.
