In future, it's very important to write so that folks understand you and so that they don't have to "decipher" what you've written.  :)

If your landlord isn't accepting your rent, then you can contact the local landlord-tenant court and say that your landlord is refusing your rent and ask whether there is a court escrow you might be able to place it in.  Otherwise, you might want to open a separate bank account and deposit the rent in there.  When someone doesn't pay rent, the landlord's almost always required to issue a notice to pay or quit before filing an eviction action for nonpayment.  In your state's case, that may very well be a 3-day notice to pay or quit.  Now if the landlord is manufacturing a BS eviction action, all you can do is wait for the landlord to file it and then show up in court with your rent and say the landlord refused to accept the rent on X occasions when you tried to pay it.
