Toronto Laundry Service

My roommates and I live in a small house in Toronto, we signed a lease for a year and do not want to break our lease because we come from everywhere and need a place to live.
Since we moved, we had to fix a ton of small holes around the house. He was in a disgusting when we moved in. Just after we arrived the dryer broke and it took the property service from ever returning to us, and then even more to send someone to watch. Since then, we found lot of water damage, our bathroom faucets leak constantly and the wall below the bathroom in the room begins to show signs of water damage. The ceiling below the living room is in the laundry and recently broke open and was leaking a lot. We had to close the valve completely, because as long as valves to floor drain, the water fall in the basement continues to operate.
There are five of us who live here and now we can only turn the water on once a day and we all share the bathroom in the basement shower / use the toilet and brush your teeth then we shut the water again. We do not do laundry which is difficult because we are all bakers in training and need our leader to the white school. We have taken this house because it had two toilets and a working washer and dryer.
We have had to endure so much! Is it even useful to ask for compensation? We have not signed the lease to live with this stress and inconvenience! What should we do?

Nowhere in your question you mention when you asked the landlord to repair the leaks, and what he said when you asked.

It's a bit of important information we need to know before we can advise you.

I am not sure of Canadian law. In the U.S. you must send a letter to the owner to tell them about it and that is unbearable. Then, if they had not set a deadline of two weeks, you have the right to hire someone to repair it yourself and then take the amount of money you've paid this person to your rent. You should check to see if there is a tenant on where you live. They can advise you.
