the landlord would not fix the bathtub as you can see its not usable.
the apartment over me had a flood and leaked water into the bathroom ruining the paint.
also look at the mold builds up the new owner told me to use bleach and fix it.
the carpet was old and dirty when i moved in was dirty if i walk on it bare footed my feet look like i have bee walking on black coals.
they turned off the gas and water for 2 days we dang near froze to death.
new owners now and they have been here for 2 months and they wont fix it either but they refurbished 3 other units

It's impossible to see anything in those pictures.
IMO, the bathtub looks like a housekeeping issue. Landlords aren't responsible for keeping it clean and mildew free after move-in. If it looked like that to begin with, you probably shouldn't have moved in.
The ceiling needs to be painted, but that's not something you can cancel your lease over.
Again, if the carpet was filthy, something should have been said immediately after move-in.
Here's what you do:
Write a letter to the landlord with the list of work that you would like done. Offer to extend your lease if the items are taken care of in a reasonable time frame. It doesn't sound like there's any other legal recourse for those items.
Hopefully someone else will have more ideas for you.
I haven’t looked at the photos but if you have talked with the new landlord about the mold and utilities and their refusing to address them, I would get a hold of your states Division of Real Estate. Most states have laws in place to protect tenants from harmful conditions.
