landlord threatens to cut off water

My landlord threatens to cut off the water. If I don't pay the water bill. He gave me a bill that he made up and not the original bill from the company. I asked to see his bill for the 3 apartment complex that he lives in also. He said no. I suspect fowl play with the amount he is charging me. So I won't pay the bill until he shows me a copy of the bill for the whole building. i need to see if i am being charged 1/3 of the cost for the building. He insists it is his business and won't budge. Can he cut off my water. He gave me a 5 day notice.

It's called constructive eviction, and at least here in NY the landlord can be held liable for ... I think it's triple damages ... Get a lawyer.

It is unlawful for your landlord to lock you out, shut off your utilities, refuse to make repairs, or do other things to evict you without going through the court.
