Mold on Wall in House - Tenets Not Paying

[Ryan Haase]

I'm currently out of state and I received a call from a tenet today that there is mold growing on the wall behind their couch and under the sink. The tenet sent me some pictures and the good news is that the mold is green/white in color and not black. The bad news is that my tenet is claiming (probably true) to be feeling ill after seeing the mold and will be staying at a family member's home and not paying rent.

We've called around and can't get a company like servepro to go out until Monday so they'll be out the the home until then and letting the mold grow. The tenet is blaming us for the mold, but they have been in the home since February with no issue and we have no know mold issues with the home. Their lease is us at the end of this coming February so I'm fine if they want to break lease, but two questions, wouldn't this fall under a lease clause about keeping the home clean? Also, with non-black mold, what is typical remediation? Do they have to cut the drywall?
