Help A Family Of 8 Find Stability

we are looking to get help for rent and utilities from are old place, I’m a stay at home mom of 4 sets of twins and the father works full time. We renting out an apartment right now that takes his whole check. We just got told from the old apartments that we had so many problems with things not being fixed and carpet was dirty when we moved in and our garage wasn’t working the whole time it was snowing. our car was keyed. Just so many problems and even a lady looking into our windows. we were told by the person we signed the lease with that we had are lease end in July so we wanted to move out because nothing was being fixed so we moved out July 1st but 08-07-26 got email stating we own them rent and utilities.
