If the tenant's health issues are caused by the landlord's violation of health and building codes, then the tenant can sue the landlord.

Does a tenant have to replace linoleum when he leaves?
You may have given a security deposit when you moved in and that may be kept if it can be shown that you damaged the floor. If you feel it is not justified, you can go to small claims court and sue the landlord for it. If there is no security deposit, the landlord can try and make you replace it, but his only real option is to sue you for it. Most will not go to the trouble.
