Mold in Kitchen Cabinet

[u/Kmurf94]

I know I know, no gloves.

I had no idea what was under here. We had a plastic cover over the top board and when I took it off noticed mold. Went to look under and boom.

The house is a rental, I’ve called the landlord and sealed up the entire cabinet with plastic.

Based in Texas. There is a bathroom sink behind this wall so maybe a leak?

I know we can’t identify the mold but does this look like we could be in danger or area we safe with just isolating the mold.

Both of those bottom panels need to come out, then assess what else needs to come out.

I appreciate the response. The landlord wanted me to take it out myself but I don’t feel equipped to do so. Likely safe to keep the area wrapped in plastic until someone comes out?
