Answer:
he is violating the landlord tenant act by not keeping PROPERLY maintained property. YOU have 2 choices--inform of this --and praying or just go to court and sue him for fraud. or pay for all the repairs by a licensed repair firm--you must make sure the repairs are acceptable to you]--and then, get a receipt and when you pay the next rent, deduct it. but he has violated several LL tenant laws....so, you may leave when you wish. available to guide you further

It's just strange that when you inspected the home before you moved in there was nothing wrong with the toilets, no bugs, and everything looked good.

NOTHING requires a LL to hire a professional to make repairs to property he owns, in most cases And just because a tenant WANTS something repaired, does NOT mean a LL is obligated to do so However, anything related to health and safety must be taken care of You had an obligation to inspect the property BEFORE agreeing to rent it, and should have noted many of these problems BTW, recommend flushing toilets and running water in sinks and tub to check out water pressure, BEFORE signing anything Regardless, you should write a polite, business letter to LL noting the various problems, when first noted, when first reported, actions you took, actions LL took, problems persist, action you are requesting LL to take, and when (2 weeks) Then if he has not made the repairs, you give LL written notice that you consider he has breached the lease and you will be moving out by X date. You have a right to consider that LL has breached lease and to leave after giving notice to LL, ONLY if you reported all the problems, LL has not remedied the problems in a reasonable time (often 2 weeks), and the problems make the housing unsafe, unhealthy, and UNINHABITABLE. . . . . .doesn't sound like any of these do alone, but perhaps in aggregate you have a case
