"whining about mold" -- this could very much be a valid statement of fact. The renter does not appear to be whining but rather stating issues impacting a living condition. I suspect the rental agreement was to rent a place in condition "X" and that condition has now changed; therefore a reduction of rent or other compensation should be considered.

I went through this with a rental in which issues rendered some rooms or appliances unusable for a few weeks. Even though I did what I could to speed the remedy of issues, I was compelled to offer compensation because they were unable to use the house as originally offered and becuase I wanted to keep good tenants in the house.

"The renter does not appear to be whining" Who was it that ask for the mold test. Was it the tenant or the landlord. It was the tenant.
