Employer missed the Deadline on my W2. Lawsuit?

I think I had the right to expect to receive my W2 before the 31st (the day I’m actually writing this) and I planned accordingly. As such, I’m now going to miss the deadline set by my landlord for payment of my rent. I was relying on my tax return to pay the back rent and now I will my landlord will be taking legal action to have me evicted and make sure that they are able to collect on my rent. This is almost an automated process for them. As such, even if I am able to pay my rent and avoid the eviction if, as my employer claims, I will recieve my W-2 forms on Monday, February 2nd, I will still owe my landlord for the courtcosts as is a part of my lease agreement. Because my employer has missed their legal deadline for providing me with last years W-2 forms I feel they are responsiable for my misfortune. Is this grounds for a lawsuit?
I’m sitting here in my office, so I -know- that they aren’t even going to recieve them for the purpose of mailing them out today. They will deffinately -not- be postmarked by today if they should have to mail them to me. And yes, I know, I should have paid my rent. The question wasn’t “Can I have a lecture?” it was “Do I have grounds for a lawsuit?” and if you don’t have any legal expertise feel free to keep unhelpful oppinions to yourself.
