Basically for a fixed term tenancy (where you signed something saying you'd stay until a specific date), the only way out of it is if the landlord agrees to let you out, be that through subletting or some other agreement. As far as I could read, there's nothing in the law in BC that would help you out Though I didn't read it all in detail, those sites FlameCity posted are a good place to start to see what the law says about the landlord-tenant relationships there.
And I totally agree with you, as a landlord I would never let my properties get to the point where my tenants question if they want to live there at all due to the conditions, but there are some pretty scummy landlords out there.
