She and her husband came in when I wouldn't answer the door. They don't want to wait on help for me from the department of human services and they are harassing me to pay them.

Well its potentially illegal (as in maybe not criminal so call cops if they do it again) it could be a trespass and/or breaking and entering ... its clearly a breach of their responsibilities as landlords. Tape and video their intrusions and use them as a counterclaim for breach of your right of peaceful enjoyment of the rental unit in the evictions.

They are entitled to their rent and have a right to be mad if you are not paying as promised. Generally, no rent then no residence. Tell social services you are being evicted and ask for an emergency grant to catch run on the rent.
