Hello
Get a lawyer or look into Legal Aid. The problem is "does the landlord have to repair the floor". That answer is no. Renters insurance is for the damage to personal items. Now if the ceiling is still damaged and you stated that small pieces fell to the floor, thats when you get a lawyer involved. Techniqually if the repair wasnt made within 7 days and you have PROOF that you told this to the landlord you MIGHT be able to break the lease. Now with the mold, you can test it yourself, with a modest fee I believe. If the results come back stating the mold is UNHEALTHY you can definatley fight that in court, assuming you told the landlord of the unhealthy mold, and you can document it.
