Can one rent office space to a partnership if landlord prohibits subleasing?Incomplete building rented on commercial lease

I have a modified gross lease of a small commercial warehouse in San Fernando, CA. During the rainy seasons of 2017-2018 and the very wet 2018-2019, I reported, on multiple occasions, leaks from the roof. These never seemed to have been properly addressed.



More recently, I had a severe enough leak that caused some damage by splattering as it dripped. The water is a dark rust color, and stains everything it touches.



Today I went into the warehouse to find that water trapped in the ceiling insulation (which is held up by a plastic barrier) proved to be too heavy for the plastic and it ruptured, leaking all over numerous belongings. The landlord is unwilling to cover this damage, telling me that's what my insurance is for. I do have insurance that should cover this, but I feel like one of the few obligations this lease places on the landlord is to keep the roof in good working order.



I'm still working with them on getting the roof repaired; that's the most critical thing. My lease ends in October. I don't really want to move, as it would cost me a small fortune to move everything again, not to mention the challenge of finding a new space.



What are my legal options? It's very hard to search for information for commercial leases; almost everything online is about residential leases.
