As a landlady myself, I will tell you that he can not evict you without first serving you with 2 Court Orders called a "Demand for Rent" and a "Notice to Quit." However, you need to take whatever money that you would normally pay him for rent, and put it into what is called an "interest bearing savings account." Continue to put your rent money into this acct every week or month however it is you pay and let him take you to court. When you go to Court, you tell the Judge why you stopped paying rent and let him know that you have all of the money in an interest bearing account at the bank. Let the Court deal with it from there. Also, do you have any of the repair requests in writing? If not, write one up right now and in that letter put down all of the dates (if you remember) that you requested repairs and what the repairs are, mail or give it to your landlord and take that to Court with you...Remember, nothing is more important than if you have it in writing!
Good Luck!!!

If a landlord loses the rent is renter still liable?
Are you saying that you paid the rent and then the landlord lost the payment? You would have to determine at which point the rent was lost. For instance, if the check never arrived in the mail and was not cashed, then it wasn't the fault of the landlord. If it is a personal check, then payment could be stopped and the check replaced, without a problem.

The situation you describe is called a sublet. Read your lease to confirm that this is allowed as part of the agreement you have with your landlord. Of course, if you choose to collect rental revenue from people without your landlord's permission, and you're collecting rent based on the landlord's assets, you may be liable to the landlord to turn all monies over to him or her. Best practices indicate that it's always a better idea to behave within the bounds of the agreement you have with your landlord.
