Hello. Thank you for your question. There are many known triggers of asthma. Mold is definitely one of them. It is not recommended that a person with a history of asthma live anywhere where there is mold. I don't know what your relationship is with the management of the building, but the mold should be brought to their attention and it should be properly removed. If this cannot be done, you will have to consider a different apartment. Good luck.
