On this set of facts alone, probably not enough to break the lease. your agreement does control though and you should have it reviewed. There are provisions which allow you to withhold rental after following specific statutory criteria. seek some legal help.

It would appear that you would need to have your landlord provide you another place to stay while repairing the work. However, speak to him about this and if the repair can not be done in a timely manner then check out the lease and if allowed then give him notice. Please have an attorney review for you.
