Sue the landlord for back rent in district court. Not entitled to rent if he has no renters certificate (look this up) or if the place isn't heated in winter.
Demand a refund.
Also, if they took a security deposit and did not tell you what bank account they put it in they broke another law.
At this point you probably need a new place and should move out. Send them written notice they are in breach of the lease.
