It's quite simple: for not fixing things that he is supposed to fix you can break your lease under the constructive eviction clause. Keep in mind, however, that the things you ask the landlord to fix may not be a frivolous request. For starters regarding the issue of harassment before rent is due, you can ignore him: if the rent is due on the third of the month, that's when you pay him. By state laws which vary, you have between three and five days of grace period before you can be charged any fees or be threatened with eviction.
