Unfair treatment by a Rental Agency

I took out a lease with High Point Rentals from the beginning of March 2021. Upon moving in I sent them a laundry list of things that needed to be fixed, which I can say only 20% has been attended to.

In July, I needed to move the bed and upon lifting the bed, I discovered that the bed and mattress are mold infested, the same mold that is on the corners of this apartment. I reported this to the agency and to date, they are refusing to come out and see what is happening in the apartment.

Yesterday I sent them a one month notice and the Principal responded by saying i cannot breach the contract. I have him a call this morning where he said the mold in the apartment is my responsibility because they had cleaned or painted the apartment before I moved in.

I am supposed to stay in this apartment where my bed and mattress is getting moldy by the day. That is not fair and a lease is not supposed to only favor the landlord but should be fair to both parties.

The apartment is cold, especially the bedroom, I have chest problems as a result of this bedroom and the Principal is refusing to hear my perspective.

I need intervention as I cannot be forced to stay in a place that is not serving my needs.

The agency came back a few minutes back saying I can vacate the property on the 30th September, and a few minutes later they are saying i must pay them for getting another tenant.

That is unfair and I object to this treatment.
