I have been paying my neighbours electric for 10 years without knowing and my landlord knew about it

I'm afraid, however wrong the situation is, it doesn't look like there's much you can do but take the LL to Civil claims court to claim back the overcharging/not refunding you appropriately.  https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/energy/energy-supply/problems-with-your-energy-supply/what-your-landlord-can-charge-for-energy/ But this is going to be fairly complicated to prove.  And stressful if the LL is aggressive when you won't do what he wants, as you have said.

I think moving out has to be your best option, and will stop this happening anymore.  Get all the paperwork together that you can before you move out and consider what to do once you have left.

I agree that you haven't received fair treatment, but the only way to prevent this continuing is to leave.  Then, as long as you have a properly run rental property, you will be in control of who you get utilities from and paying only for what you use, at a proper rate.  Moving out could save you a fortune in a short space of time.  And you shouldn't be treated the way you are any longer.  That will help how you feel about life in general.  

Seconded...

I'll ask one question and make three comments


Is the warehouse rented on the basis of a "full repairing lease"? Because if so you are responsible for repairs to the property, not the landlord.


A landlord cannot evict a tenant on the grounds of the tenant not completing a census form.


There are only limited grounds on which a landlord can evict a tenant.
