Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

I live in an illegal apartment with my boyfriend. After 15 days of living there the landlord came knocking and said we had 15 days to vacate because we were messy and because they didn't like that my boyfriend has not found a job yet and just stays at home. That was the only reasoning they gave us with no warning. Not only do we have no place to go, but we will have to relocate back home states away causing me to lose my job on top of all of the moving costs. What rights do we have and can we get our money back to help us with these damages? I tried to talk with them, but they would not comply.
