black mold = bad.
if it’s not a huge problem, meaning not inside the walls. you should take it upon yourself to clean and fix it.
our land lord painted our bathroom with flat paint that eventually peeled away and mold form on the ceiling around the window, and became to difficult to keep up with.
i cleaned with bleach. re-spackled. 2 coats of kilz primier. 2 coats of bathroom paint. and i haven’t had any problems at all for the past 8 monthes since i did the work. total materials costed under $50. and it looks so much better, i couldn’t care less about putting out the money. a moldy bathroom is just plain embarassing.

If it really is black mold it can kill you. Otherwise it may just be dirt and mold. Either way get someone else to get rid of it because it can cause you to have an attack with prolonged exposure.
