Landlord threatning violence?

We are renting a room in a house that belongs to my boyfriend's cousin. We signed a lease there until September with all utilities included. This house is a residential mortgage that he's renting out because he can't pay the mortgage. Anyway, two days ago he told us we have to give him money for electric because it's high even though our lease says it's all inclusive. We told him according to our lease we shouldn't and disagreed. Then he threatened my boyfriend saying he'll throw our stuff out and will crush his face. He really wanted a physical fight. Then he left and now we are so stressed and don't know what to do. We can't move out because we haven't found an apartment that's affordable(We settled until September) and I just can't let this go that easily. Is there a legal solution for this matter where we are compensated for the breech of lease?
