To many molds to specify a definte toxicity answer. I can tell you that this mold is caused by the humidity level in your apartment and that the seals around your windows are failing to keep the cold air out. Also if you hang laundry in your apartment to dry will cause this. To prevent this you can use a dehumidifyer to the appropriate size of you apartment.
Speaking as an apartment superintendent, the mold should be cleaned off of the walls the best it can be, then covered by a paint product called "Killex" which is available at Home Depot, then painted to match your exsisting wall colour. Make sure the management corrects both the window seals and wall problems properly or mold will return.

verify your lease, yet you're probable caught with it. Do you not have pals who can help? i've got carried out an outstanding sort of moving around in my existence, and that i've got in no way employed movers - neither did my mothers and dads while i grew to become into starting to be up. do not spend the dough in any respect in case you do not might desire to - different than consistent with probability a sprint to lease a truck if no person has one. ****Your renter's coverage might desire to disguise any property you will possibly desire to swap in the event that they have been ruined by the flood. it is typically all it is for, simply by fact the abode proprietor is to blame for the development, yet not for a tenant's possessions.

Horror film? What's the title?
It should be made safe to support human life,
before you go to sleep in there.

I would not sleep there until that problem was rectified.
If they don't look at it today call the health department.

Get a revolver, put 6 bullets in it. Use the first five bullets on the mold, if it's still there, use the last one on yourself buddy.

Now is there just a bit of exaggeration here? Or are just wanting to see your name in print? Did it grow up overnight? No, then why did you sleep there last night?
