This is definitely an illegal eviction, particularly, if you are being evicted with very little notice and it is are result of unsafe and unhealthy conditions, which are and should be the responsility of the landlord. If you feel that you cannot get redress in the courts because of your or concerns about abuse of position or authority and these "relationships" hinder your ability for due process, you should state this if you chose to pursue the matter in your petition filed in a court of "proper" jurisdiction. Which includes your right to due process under the law. However, I also recommend that you study the Oklahoma Landlord Tenant Act to determine your rights under these circumstances. It is justification for breaking the lease agreement and perhaps you are better off by doing so.

Re: housing
first of all, this is definitely a illegal eviction. Particularly, if you were evicted with little notice and you were removed from the premises to due to unsafe and unhealthy conditions, all of which were ignored or negated by your Landlord. This is, and should be, the responsibility. By law, the landlord must to fix or repair these problems immediately and he/she had 14 days to fix these unhealthy conditions.
Secondly, if you are feel your righs are being violated and you cannot get redress in the courts because of your or concerns about "abuse of position" or "authority" and these "relationships" hinder your ability to get due process under the law, it is recommended that you make this statement issue in your petition to the courts.
Your rights must be addressed and filed as a matter in a court of "proper" jurisdiction because you have a "right" to due process under the law.
However, I also must recommend that you study the Oklahoma Landlord Tenant Act to determine your rights under these circumstances. These conditions are definitely legal justificaition at for breaking the lease agreement, if the problems was reported to the Landlord and perhaps you are better off by moving to another location if you are experiencing health problems. You deserve to be in a dwelling where you can remain safe and healthy.
