mold making tenant sick?

Hi BP members,  I have a tenant that has called me to report what  he believes  to be  a mold issue that is causing him to be sick.  Now I have checked the plumbing and  found no issues and I normally am pretty diligent about repairs and preventative maintenance on my rentals but I don't want to open a pandoras box here.  

On one hand there is some mold showing in the corner of a an exterior wall  and I have cleaned this but what I am finding is this renter tends to pack this room to the brim. So I am pretty certain  that this lack of " air flow" is contributing to the problem.  I would love to hear any suggestions on how some of you have dealt with this in a professional but reasonable manner. Thanks in advance.
