Certain types of mold (and sisnce your resulted from a leak, I would imagine it would apply) are health hazzards and cause health risks. Contact the county health department where you live, post haste.
You can do your own background check on the landlord. Most county's and states have the court records online. you may not be able to get the details, but who sued who for what, and who was arrested for what should be available.
