Discovered Mold After Tennant Moved In

Quick question, I recently bought a SFR for rental that upon purchase inspection did not note any mold issues. My tennant, who just moved in in January, just notified me today that she found large amounts of black mold in the kitchen walls and bathroom. She also noted that she has not been feeling well since moving in.

I called to have Service Master take a look at it and determine how extensive the damage is. I also noted that she may have to move out. I offered to forgive her March rent and set an April 1 move out date. Since we are only 3 months into a new lease I'm curious if I'm liable for any temp housing until she can find a new place (or any other considerations I have not thought of yet). The lease does not state anything about this so Im curious what position I am in here.

Sorry if my thoughts are scrambled here, never been down this road before. Any input is appreciated! Thanks.
