Google is quite literally free:
Many of the thousands of mold species are harmless to humans. Molds are generally categorized into three types based on their health effects:
• Allergenic: Unlikely to cause illness, but may aggravate mild allergies. Touching or inhaling mold spores can cause allergy-like symptoms such as a runny nose, congestion, eye irritation, sneezing, coughing, sore throat, and skin rash.
• Pathogenic: Can cause infection in people who are immunocompromised.
• Toxigenic: Toxic to all humans and animals who encounter it.
Some examples of non-toxic molds include cladosporium, nigrospora, and ulocladium.
Most people come into contact with these molds daily with little to no health effects.
However, exposure to non-toxic black mold can still make a person feel unwell, with symptoms varying based on individual sensitivities.

OP I recently went through this. My landlord said it was mildew. I paid $125 for a pro mold test and presented him with the report. Magically he gave me a full refund of my rent (only stayed 21 days because it was so bad) and all my deposits, and he reimbursed for the mold test. Because I had the test done, he had to actually call in mold remediation before renting the house again.

False. In fact with some very toxic species of mold, bleach can make it more active and produce more mycotoxins.

No. I’m giving a precise answer. Bleach kills mold. Full stop. Go back to o Chem or get in a lab.
Bleach is not suggested as a solution on Porous surface because its viscosity doesn’t allow it to penetrate.
Bleach is just fine on a non porous surface.
Ammonia based or h2o2 will work on a porous as they will seep in.
H2o2 isn’t ideal in a situation where it might get broken down by sunlight as it will then render it useless
I’m giving precise info, not boilerplate bulkshit which ignores basic facts.

I just wanted to add that I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Mold to this extent is really really dangerous, especially so for sensitive/reactive people. And it’s near areas where your air for the apartment travels through so I can imagine it’s just amplifying it. I grew up in an apartment that had mold as a kid and I think it led to my asthma and a predisposition to getting sick and a shot immune system. I had never been so sick with various things than during those years in my life. Nobody else in my family had issues like that. I also developed tons of allergies too. Idk how much of that is linked but I’m sure it played a roll. Be super vigilant with making sure your health is #1 right now.

If you go to home improvement subs and homeowners ask "an ac company said I had mold in my ductwork and need to get an expensive cleaning" the comments are always that it's a scam and mold doesn't grow in ductwork.
But in rental forums everyone is about to die from black mold.

The blotchy pattern is why you know it’s mold. If it’s straight lines and smears it’s mostly likely just dirt ;can be the case if your air ducts are dirty or you never use/change the filter.
This is definitely mold.
Mold is not inherently dangerous but it can become that way. If it smells like mildew this is probably the source.
Run the HEAT for a while to dry out the vents, change your air filter, turn the AC way down to dehydrate.
Tell your landlord and send them pictures.
If this is a bathroom, use the extractor fan (or ask for one to be installed). Open a window if available when the outside humidity is lower than 50%

Former mold remediation technician here. That's mold. Don't bother freaking yourself out over what type of mold everyone is trying to say it is because I promise you, they don't know and are full of shit. There's well over 100,000 different species of mold and you *can not* tell exactly what flavor it is without lab testing.
All mold will give you issues, some select molds can be dangerous, especially if you have an allergy.
Do not use vinegar or bleach or any other bullshit "home remedy" do not try to dry scrub or wipe it away as this will agitated the spores and cause them to release, use a product labeled as a "biocide", the one we always used was called microban (it was industrial strength but you can get the same brand at Home Depot) if you have sensitivities to chemicals, there are other green options available made from plants (I can't remember the name off the top of my head, but they do exist)
Call your landlord or property manager, tell them you've got mold growing out of the vent, the owners insurance *should* cover it, but they should be legally responsible for taking care of this problem, I think, I'm not 100% sure how laws could differ in DC. Make absolutely sure you tell them the AC unit or furnace or both, and the rooms they're in need to be checked for further contamination, and also to see if there's a possible leak from whatever's above that ceiling. Chances are the remediation team are going to make some exploratory holes to check the back side of the drywall, and if that is also contaminated, they'll probably be taking your ceiling down.

We had that as renters for 8 years and when i complained to my landlord he told me it's my fault because i crack down the AC too much and cause condensation!!! (75 degrees in the summer is too low?!) He refused to do anything about it. We ended up cleaning the vents ourselves and whatever was in the ducts we breathed for 8 years. All 3 of my kids had asthmatic and allergic symptoms that magically disappeared when I finally bought a home and moved tf out of there. No mold problems since!

Your entire air ducts may need to be mold remediated. We had to do this with my house a few years ago because of a humidity problem. We also run a dehumidifier now 24/7. OP, I hope your landlord takes this seriously. I lost like a year of my life with extreme mold illness from an old apartment I lived in. I was sick constantly and some days could barely walk. Mold is no joke.

That is 100% black mold also can cause mycotoxin poisoning! Your landlord or management will not admit that it is black mold they will call it mildew lol this is the way out of a lawsuit for them. If you are sick or anyone in your house is and you have medical bills you most definitely can sue them you need to contact an injury attorney they will take your case pro bono

Dip immediately. I just went through this and stayed for too long and was mold sick for months after moving. Spent 5 grand in medical bills. You can leave with no repercussions as long as you provide them with written documentation of why you're leaving. If you're in the US there are laws that protect renters. Cite the inhabitability clause and leave immediately
