Tenant complaints of mold

Hello,

I have a tenant that moved in few months ago. We fully remodeled her unit and she called me to inform that her shower is leaking and mold is growing on the wall. Contractor went out and caulked the door instructed her not to use it for 24 hrs and of course she did. Problem came back we fixed it again told her to not shower and she did. She emailed me again last night that there is "mold" looks like mildew though, and there is a bit of water coming again. Can I break her year lease? We might need to get in there and take that whole shower apart. It's a 5 day job. If she can't wait for caulk to dry for 24 hrs she won't be able to have no shower for 5 days. Also her boyfriend called and threatened me with a lawsuit that I haven't been able to solve that problem and I had my fair amount of time to do it. Any advice appreciated. Thank you

It's mildew and not mold, we had it looked at. She just needs to get off her rear and clean it. It's a cinderblock building. Unit right next to her doesn't have ANY issues. Spoke to him today and he was as happy  as can be. I spoke to complaining tenant and gave her an option to break her lease if that's what she was looking for. She got scared and said where will I go? I like this complex I just don't like my neighbor across from me, and I don't want him anywhere near my place.  Well sh$t that's not my problem. Glad I narrowed that down.
