No point in entering for showing you have no idea of when it will be available to rent.Rarely do I recommend someone getting a attorney to file if it's a simple eviction action. but in your case I'd pay the fee's and step back keep record of any texts or notes he gave you and keep log of when you called or contacted him.His threats are meant to do just that.. he's tossed the ball in your court so take him to court and no further contact with out your attorney advising you what to do.
