I would need more information to answer your question. You don't mention if you have a written lease and if you do when it ends. In any case, it sounds like the house or apartment that you rent is uninhabitable, or will about to be. If that is the case you have a right to withhold rent or just move. You should take photos and have letters, emails or texts with the landlord confirming all your conversations. Before you do anything else you should get a consult with a local attorney experienced in landlord-tenant (LT) matters. You can contact the Bar (Lawyer) Association for the county where you live & ask for the Lawyer Referral Service. You should be able to obtain a very inexpensive consultation with an experienced LT lawyer. Good luck!
