Remove the mold or pay a contractor for it and you can deduct it from the rental fees since your landlord does not want to do it.

When you moved in to your apartment, your landlord should have provided you with information about signs of mold and the associated health risks. Since mold does pose health problems, it is your landlord’s responsibility to help remove mold from your unit and assist in preventing its return. If you see or suspect mold your apartment, notify your landlord immediately and work with him or her to correct the problem. If your landlord fails to take action, alert local public health and safety officers and consider having your apartment inspected for mold risks.

Call an inspector...if he finds that the mold is unsafe and unhealthy, the landlord by law will be forced to get it fixed.
