You need a dehumidifier in the closet - at a minimum. I would wash the walls, then prime with Kilz or Zinsser, then paint and install a dehumidifier. Your landlord should do this for you. In the meantime use lawn and leaf bags turned upside down and placed over the hanger to protect your clothes.
Mold is dangerous if you breathe that in your lungs. You may want to seek professional help, especially if it gets on your clothing.
Have your land lord fix the leaks in the closet. Once fixed use Damp rid

Brain, Sinuses, Lungs, Erratic Heart! Dangerous. GET OUT! Anything porous absorbs mold- cannot bring with you- cross contaminate new place. Even wood! Anything with a fan in sucks in mold spores.
Blessings and good luck!

Then scrub it down with water and bleach mix about 50% solution.

Even if you tear out the walls, unless you deal with the moisture and temperature you won't solve the problem. Lots of articles on google about mold.
