Just ask for a rent receipt next tax season, and he will know what to do. All you need is the months of tenancy, amount of rent paid and the name of your landlord.

what are the consequences of breaking a lease

Bad credit, and likely being taken to small claims court to collect the balance of the lease. You will likely also be added to a list of problem tenants that circulate around landlords in the Mac ghetto.

what to do if roommates are bringing illegal substances into the house

If they are using recreationally, don't get involved. It's highly unlikely you would ever get burned for this legally due to having a separate lease (unless of course there were drugs in your bedroom).
Police in this country generally look the other way to recreational marijuana use that occurs in a private home. I've been cited for possession, but that was for smoking in public (actually guilt by association, a friend was smoking, I haven't smoked in three years... bad timing
) and didn't involve criminal charges or fines. If it's a more serious drug, I would think long and hard about whether you want to inform the landlord, but that's your prerogative. It could make for a very difficult living situation since its very difficult to evict a tenant in Ontario.

why most people avoid living in a basement bedroom

They are dark and often musty. I lived in one that had been recently renovated and it was okay but living underground was terrible for my sleep patterns. Some people love it, though. Get a dehumidifier.
