Thank you so much for your comments! I called the health department and he said unfortunately since there are no federal guidelines, the health dept does not test or inspect for mold. He is sending me some information/contractor names. The person I spoke with was in the environmental division and he said that since there are no guidelines, everyone just does their own thing - so I'm gonna think the tenant cannot sue for this. Also, he did mention that not all black mold is toxic and that only a lab test can determine the difference (my tenant claims that the mold is toxic, that she has proof because she has pictures, but without lab testing...). The EPA and CDC both recommend that mold is cleaned and that humidity levels are maintained. I'm calling her bluff and posting a 3-day eviction notice tomorrow. Thanks again!
