That is not a wise thing to do. If the problems are severe enough that house is unsafe, check your state's landlord and tenant laws. There may be a way to either void the lease or to notify the landlord that the repairs will be done and an amount billed to him. You'll have to check to see what will actually work (no loopholes!) in your favor. Some landlords never do fix the items, but at least you have it on your list so they can't charge you.

Can a landlord hold your property until he receives payment?

It depends, did you sign a contract saying that if the landlord did not receive payment in _ amount of time, the landlord may hold personal property until payment is received If you did not (which no logical person would do, unless they did not like and or enjoy their personal property) then it is against the law that they take it, unless you HAND it over to them or allow them to take it, if they took (also known as stole) any personal property without your permission, you can take your landlord to court, and justice will most likely will be paid, but to be positively far, the landlord can give a certain amount of time for you to pack your things if you did not pay, so things do even out, but this is not a legal case unless you either handed or gave permission for your landlord to take/touch your personal property... But, you must pay your rent...
