The landlord appears to have some sort of metal/wooden bar in his hands during the video, holding it like a weapon, and in the early seconds of the video, he can be seen putting it against the man's neck and shoving him up against a wall.

Another man can also be seen in the video, who appears to live in the apartment too.

While the landlord has the first man up against the wall with the metal/wooden bar, he points to the second man and says "you're next!"

Later in the video, the tenant is pulled back into the apartment by the landlord, and thrown onto a couch.
