Water is also leaking through the light fixtures. I have asthma issues now because of the mold. Owner won't fix the leaks. They will will only give me another apartment if I pay 150.00 a month more rent.

This is a landlord/tenant issue. Any general practice attorney should be able to assist you with this specific issue. 41 O.S. § 118(A)(2) is an applicable law for your case, which provides, "A landlord shall at all times during the tenancy... Make all repairs and do whatever is necessary to put and keep the tenant's dwelling unit and premises in a fit and habitable condition." Show them that provision. If they do not make repairs after that, I would consult with an attorney and pursue legal action.
