Sinker,
Be sure to NOT tell your landlord that you will be moving out if he doesn't make the repairs. If he knows of the consequence, he might get everything fixed within 2 weeks. I know I would.
Inform him of the repairs request, written or otherwise stated in the lease. Then tell him verbally that it is no big deal, and whenever he gets around to it, will be fine with you.
Go this route, and I can almost assure that it will not be done within 2 weeks.
This method is somewhat questionable from a moral and ethical standpoint, but it is legal, and will get you out of the lease. It is up to you as you are the one that needs to sleep at night.
Hopefully for your sake, he has done something to you that is borderline ethical, that you can justify in your mind your intention to walk from your lease in this manner.
It's a tough world out there! Sometimes you have to play hardball to survive!
Good Luck -D
