You can send a writing demanding release from the lease or demanding, that if they do not release you, they have to fix the problem. Should they not fix it, you can take them to court and recover any money you spend fixing the problem.
You can also send a writing telling them that you will be putting next month's rent in an escrow account until they fix the problem. If you say you will do it, you better do it.
Since you are allergic, ending the lease makes the most sense.
Good luck
