Getting out of a lease

I doubt it… guy just called and said if I dont pay or find someone to pay, hes going to file a lawsuit. I was told that the DA’s office is cracking down on slumlords, so i was thinking about calling them. Then seeing if I could have a building inspector condemn the house and if absolutely necessary I will hire a lawyer.

The apt is filled with mice/squirrels. The stove leaks gas when the gas behind the stove is turned on, this should not be. The oven does not work because it lets all the heat out. The refrigerator does not close all the way. There is a sinkhole in the bathroom floor. My back door which leads directly into my room is held by one small lock. Many of you have seen my apartment and know how it is.

For those of you who have came to my apt and took pictures, please post them up, they could be valuable for my case.
