Is our landlord screwing us? We received a typed notice of eviction and have to be out in 14 days.?

First of all we live in a mobile home that is rent to own. The land has a 10 yr lease that my landlord subleases to us. The notice was typed from our landlord stating we had destructed the property and we needed to pay off and move trailer in 14 days. The destruction was never mentioned but I umed it was because we took the pump house off of our well due to it cutting off, which we requested be fixed to our landlord and they never fixed it. So it was much easier to leave it off since we were making daily trips to tap the pressure switch so our water would come back on. Well today we have a Rule to Vacate on our door from the magistrate office stating we have 10 days to vacate property due to failure to pay rent. I have yet to receive a late notice from the landlord, but I have bigger issues when it comes to the rent. The trailer is paid off. I paid the trailer off in Feb 2009 but then the landlord tossed in some property taxes that had to be paid before we could take ownership, I asked for a copy of our lease that stated we were responsible for paying the property taxes but the landlord said she could not find it. So me being the dummy I am just paid little amounts to them every so often for over a year. After receiving the typed notice we sent in certified and notarized paperwork asking for a copy of our lease agreement, what property was destructed and copies of all tax information for the past 5 yrs, and then 2 days after they receive the mail they send us this rule to vacate. I just dont know what to do at the moment. I gave birth last week, and have dr orders not to drive or do any lifting over 15 pounds for 2 weeks. My landlord wont answer the phone and they are never in the office when we go there. Any helpful suggestions are appreciated. We live in the state of South Carolina.
