Make an arrangement to the management, so you can break your lease. Settle your bills and move to a new place. They are irresponsible, they must meet the needs of the tenant especially doing repairs. You may file a complaint to them but make sure you have documented proofs to show.

I’d tell you to file a complaint with the RPA… can’t they help you get out of your lease? That or work it out with your manager somehow.

To get out of a lease can be very difficult… So, that option may not be the best choice for you. Its probably better to get management to agree to repair the unit by drying and cleaning the water completely. If the leak is due to a water line that broke, I don’t know how they can say you are responsible?! This is a bit out of my experience level… I’m sure someone here will provide you with some real solutions.
If the water damage goes unrepaired, it will get worse and most likely grow mold. I don’t get why your manager is being so difficult? Sounds like they are slumlords
