Look, you can buy a mold test kit (inexpensive) at most any hardware store. It's a quick test and easy. I used to get those kits at home depot or lowe's. https://www.bing.com/shop?q=mold+test+kits+home+depot&FORM=SHOPPA&originIGUID=C953658B469A4B08895009CA106208BC

Most people buy mold remover products and deal with the moisture issues - moisture issues are a landloard issue. Ok so, test kit to confirm, pictures of the balck areas. Mold remover to protect you, and pictures of the wet areas to demonstrate the issue.
