Angry Landlord not treating me fairly!!

By Tenant

I moved in a rental home on April 1st and on april 2nd I noticed a water leak from the ac I called the landlord and he came over and did what he called fixed the problem and it happened again and again and again for about a month straight .. then the problem got progressivly worse and eventually he hired a ac person to come who told him that he needed a whole new unit .. he and his wife claimed I BROKE THE AC !!! and that I could either pay half to get a new one , get several window units and pay for them or move out , I decided to hire another ac company for a second opinion and they said alls we needed was freon which the landlord paid for . They never apolized for that and since then I have had a water leak problem that was causing a nasty smell in the bathroom which is connected on the other side of the wall with the kitchen sink , when I called the husband told me to call the city ?? and claimed the pipe in the street was clogged about a two week period went by and the problem go worse and long story short he tried to fix it himself and that ended up taking over four days before a plumber was hired to fix the problem ,.. I have since then had financial problems but I have told him I would be able to pay him late and that I could pay it every second wed with a late fee if needed that I had no choice and now I am being told I need to pay 10 percent of the rent as a late fee which I did not do ! I paid them 50 dollars , now I am noticing mold in the hall closet and I have been feeling all clogged up and my son is sneezing etc and I am pretty sure its from the mold .. I tried to call him several times and he has not returned any of my calls !! I feel like since I have paid late twice that he is purposly not calling me back now .. and its not about the rent its about the mold problem .. I want to break the lease now , I am angry and feel that I am not being treated with the respect I deserve I would never rip anyone off but this whole rental situation seems unfair to me < I do not think he has been a very good landlord and has not done his share of what is expected but yet he is mad about a late rent .. do I have any legal rights to get us out of this place ?
