You don't need an attorney.

Call the local health department and put them in touch with code enforcement to have someone from the city come out and test for mold. If there are spores in the air, and the CITY condemns the apartment, that action legally breaks your lease...but there is a catch.

1) That means you have to vacate IMMEDIATELY, so have a place to go.

2) You will have to sue your landlord in small claims to get your deposit back.

You should consider setting up an appointment with an attorney. AT the most it might cost you a few hundred for a consultation, but a real estate attorney will provide you with the best legal advice that aligns with GA State laws. If your children are getting sick and you have a medical notice from your doctor indicating that they are sick due to living conditions, you could sue your landlord and more than likely with this threat and huge lawsuit pending, you are probably out of the lease. It is the legal responsibility of your landlord to provide safe, inhabital living conditions. Really, spend a few hunderd on a meeting with an attorney!

I'd send a letter, certified that you are leaving. Tell him where to send your deposit, once you get your new address.
cc your letter to the a lawyer, if you talk to one, but if you are just worried about your deposit, then I'd just move to a safe/healthy place asap. there is nothing he can do after you leave. take pictures too!
