Install smoke alarms every five feet along the ceiling and store anything you can't afford to lose in a fire at a family member's house. Get the hell out of there ASAP. You have a self-interested, negligent, asshole for a landlord. If you suspect tax fraud, report his ass to the IRS and you'll get 10% of payments he evaded. Consider it revenge, not narking.
Get a disposable camera. Take pictures of every fixture that he intends to remove from far enough back to see where in the room each one is. In each picture, include a newspaper front page, and make the first and last picture on the roll of film a picture of that front page with the date clearly visible. Keep the developed pictures in a safe place in case an electrical fire occurs. That way, you have evidence.
