More details to this question:
She would not even come look at it when I informed her. I had to ask twice. When she finally came to look at it, she was even shocked at the amount present and also the location of the mold. We are not able to use our own bedroom. Other tenants have claimed that she has always cleaned the mold in the past.

This can render the place uninhabitable. You can break the lease, notify the landlord.

You should write a letter demanding that she remedy the problem immediately or you will (i) pay to remedy the problem and deduct the amount from rent, or (ii) move out.
