Not only does it look ugly but it causes serious respiratory issues too. You can actually force your landlord to fix the issue by collecting samples of the mold and taking pictures of them and then sending them to your local health department. In most cases, buildings with black mold are deemed uninhabitable so your landlord will really be forced to face the situation; otherwise, close the establishment. However, if you’d rather let a mediator come in between, you’re going to pay a small fee of $39. RPA takes care of similar issues and they will be the one to prepare all the paperwork to force your landlord to act on those ugly black molds.
