Notify your landlord if you discover mold in your apartment as most states require landlords to quickly eliminate mold as soon as they are reported at their own expense. There will be no need to move if the landlord can get rid of the mold growth in your apartment within a reasonable amount of time. However, if your landlord fails to remove the contamination despite being notified about it, you may have grounds to break your lease and move out. In the case this happens, ensure that you have fulfilled all tenant responsibilities for this situation required by your state before moving out.
