You are required to fulfill your lease obligation, however so is the landlord. If they have a duty in the lease to make repairs, or the property is being rendered uninhabitable due to disrepair, then they must fulfill that obligation or you can file suit. You could have an attorney send a demand letter attempting to persuade them to let you out of your lease early in exchange for not filing suit, otherwise your only safe recourse is to file suit and force them to do the repairs.
