Jennifer, I am unable to identify the problem from the photos that you have submitted.  If you are not able to contact your local Extension office, try a new search under the heading pests or household pest. 
Information for mold issues can be found at EPA.gov/mold https://www.epa.gov/mold/brief-guide-mold-moisture-and-your-home and reported to your landlord for repairs.    I hope this is a start.
