Answers:
You are asking a question that can only be properly answered by an attorney. Since we cannot see the problems first hand nor the lease, there is no way to give a legal answer.
if the place is falling apart, have a health inspector come in and evaluate the home. they will give the landlord the orders to repair things, and a time limit to do them. if he doesn't do all the required repairs, then you have every right to break your lease and move out without fear of being sued. you landlord has a legal obligation to provide you with a safe environment to live in. if it is not safe, he shouldn't be renting it out!!
Contact a lawyer in your area for the answer to this question.
