You're pretty much stuck paying this. Since you didn't contact the housing commission, you'll probably more than likely be responsible for this debt. If you were still stuck in this lease, you could dispute it by correcting the items yourself (after making effots with the landlord), and withhold your rent that way.
After you've moved, you've basically broken a written contract. You will be responsible for this debt.

I'm so sorry to hear of the situation with your landlord. However, this really should have been addressed with the local authorities prior to moving out, if your landlord would not help.
