Nightmare scenario - mold and bad air quality.

This has really been tearing me down, even as someone who has always been optimistic and proactive:(

I rented a unit and signed a 1yr lease. Upon arrival when the windows were closed the air in the unit was stuffy, and heavy. I got headaches tiredness coughs stuffy nose and nausea from being in this apartment.

There seems to be black mould. There are caulking areas with mould and if I open the windows strong clouds of smoke from people smoking near the building come through.

We feel sick, we feel way better when the windows are open, however when we open the windows, cigarette smell begins to come through which is hard to deal with for us non smokers.

Any support any advice any word of encouragement would mean a lot to me right now is feeling tired from a move stressed and sick.

Looking for some advice, and if anyone can give me encouragement or anything like that from someone struggling to another human id really appreciate it.
