The landlord should at least be concerned about potential liability. Mold is a hot button in most states since the child & pet deaths of the last few years. Not to start some big lawsuit, but check with local tenant advocacy groups. The smell might be harmless (most likely) but it could also be hazardous. It will also creep if given the chance, and that could damage your property. I'd at least want to know what I was living with.

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
