    Well.. That might be a psycological reaction :P But yeah, I am pretty confident that is mold, so that really should be fixed.

    Not everything that is dark is mold, it could just be dirt. Contact a professional. nuking it with bleach may solve the issue short-term, but it won't fix the issue that let the mold grow.

    Btw, it could be your fault the mold grew (bad ventilation etc.), so don't go full Murica and look for somebody to sue, it could backfire.

    That picture isn't very good. Might want to take one closer up. As far as I can see that just looks like bad work with the stuff they use between the tiles in bathrooms. If you are insecure, check it up though.

    That's probably because of bad ventilation Sir Chinchillidae. Bath water probably stagnates there becoming mold haven on the tile glue.

    Yeah, it is mostly in the stuff between the tiles; Some of it has branched off but it's concentrated in it.

    I'll speak with the landlady when i can about what's up with it.

    Best close up i can do on my potato.

    You heard it, ventilate your cellar guys and you'll be fine!

    Scrap some of it from the wall and rub it between your fingers, if it's feels oily or somewhat wet then it's likely mold. If it's mostly dry and crumbling it's dirt.

    In case of dirt get some soap and get on your knees. If it's mold and a lot of it, talk to a specialist about it.

    Edit: Yeah, that's mold and what I would consider as a lot of it. If you feel brave get some mold cleaner and a mask, otherwise get a specialist. You'll probably have to replace the glue. Lot's of the actual mold could be "underground"

    Theoretically, yes. But you can also get sued for infesting the place with mold. If you get a specialist that can prove that the mold was there before you moved in and an inhibitant gets a serious condition from the mold you might have a case. But if the mold could also be caused by something you did or grew because you neglected to keep an eye on it then he could sue you for repairs. So I would think twice about that.

    Yes it's mold, yes it can make you sick(symptoms described), probably can't sue due to you not acknowledging it until you were moving out. If you known and reported it and it was failed to be dealt with then you would have grounds for suit. I dunno though people seem to be able to sue for anything these days. Is it worth your time/trouble? That's up to you.

    What an incredibly stupid thing to do. If you live in a place where there is a super or something like that have them fix it. If not fix it yourself and stop debating, play it safe and remove the problem.

    A poll for identifying things?

    "Poll: Is this a cat?" (No, this is doge ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ)

    Would still be better than most of the polls made by...certain...people. I won't give names!

    Or instead of playing smartass you could try to be helpful. It's so hard to clean bathwater a bit if you don't have a bathroom window instead of letting it stay there forever, amirite?
