I would suggest going to your local Health Dept and explaining
your situation then I would either call or go to the fire dept. that
is nearest and telling them your situation. With those 2 depts.
going after the landlord at the same time you'll see results quicker
than you think.

Don't cancel the rent, he can kick you out faster and then you have no where to go. What I would do is review the paperwork you signed and call your local town hall for the exact process on handling this. I would also tell the landlord that he should take the cost of repairing the situation out of your monthly rent. So basically you get either a few free months rent free or a reduced rent (depending on what you pay now) until its resolved.

If you are in the USA, call the local housing or building inspector first thing tomorrow morning.
They will make him fix it, along with hauling him into court and fining him.
Take lots of photos so you can try and get a rent abatement for the period of time you were unable to use a portion of the property you were paying for.

A good time to see your insurance adjuster and/or legal advisor.
