<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

Hello all,

Things have gotten really sower with the guys I'm subletting my room from (he rents the house, doesn't own it). In the past few months he's, moved my clothes from where they were stored in the basement into a nasty dank shed, disabled the stairway light into my room, bolted my private bathroom entrance door shut, put a lockbox on the thermostat, and now changed the locks in the house when I broke off the lock box to turn the heat on.

I've had to call the cops twice, last night they told him to let me in the house and change the lock back. Tonight he accidentally forgot not that new lock he was direct to change. I called the cops again, as a favor to me they BSed him a little a said what he's doing it criminal. I live in Northern VA and have familiarized myself with my rights.  

I have filed a formal complaint against him today with the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation. I wasn't going to until this whole lockout thing because I'm not a very confrontational person, but I've had enough of this nonsense. My best friend is a lawyer and he's offered his counsel if/when I take him to small claims court. But I'm worried that this might escalate into a criminal matter, aka him assaulting me or destroying my crap. 

If anyone has any experiences they can share with me I'd appreciate. I'm trying my best not to escalate this, I'm not afraid of him, but I don't want to get arrested.

Thank you.
