As long as the landlord repairs the problem within the time specified in your lease agreement, then your lease still stands.
If he doesn't fix the problem, then you may be able to break your lease, but you will have to follow the proper channels. Just quit paying rent and move out, and you'll find yourself in very big financial trouble.
Hopefully you had renters insurance, your landlord isn't liable for any of your property unless you can prove negligence, which is pretty hard.

No,your landlord is in simple terms answerable for the construction,you are able to have contents insurance your self.He won't be in a position to insure contents of a construction that don't belong to him. If he have been negligent then perhaps you are able to declare against him,yet while it replaced into an twist of destiny,you do not have lots threat. in case you rented a council flat,the council does not insure the contents,the comparable applies i'm afraid.
