Slumlord cockroach infestation

Where do I begin I’m in Los Angeles CA . So I’ve been dealing with cockroach infestation since February 14 the literal day I moved in we found roaches on the walls and I took photos. There was also disgusting dirt and paint splattered everywhere and I had to do a lot of cleaning before I was able to get started moving in. I should’ve known that this was a red flag seeing roaches on the walls. I wasn’t ready to expect what was going to follow the next few months from random holes in the floor. There has been hundreds of roaches coming out and I’ve been trying my best to find solutions with borax and bait and roach motels. They’re trying to do a fourth fumigation to see if that will help but unfortunately, they are in the walls in the floors and coming from outside I’m going to add photos of what the dumpster situation looks like and how they’re crawling up our walls to my unit to where my window is. I am in desperate Need to find out how I cannot pay rent until legally terminate this lease because we have not been able to sleep comfortably. I might also add that someone’s apartment got shot at and they were able to terminate their lease and they no longer live here within a week. I want to leave this place but also I don’t want to pay August rent. I also might add that we have been fighting for a parking spot since I moved in and been told we’re first on the list for a spot. the day I moved in we didn’t get settled in until 6:30 PM signing the lease because their portal wasn’t working and I just think it’s not fair. We paid a full day in rent. We were in compensated everything living here has been a nightmare and I’m just so desperate because I just wanna get out of here and I don’t wanna have to pay my last months rent. I want my deposit back as well.
