If : If you have found black mold, then moving in with an infant would be of concern. No one knows the full medical effects of this, but there would be concern for reactive airways or allergies. I agree with your caution about moving in. I can't speak to the lease issues so you may want to get assistance with that.

Move: There is no way they can hold you to the lease if you found something during the initial cleaning and before you even moved in. I wouldn't think twice about finding a new place and letting the person who rented you the place why you are not fulfilling the lease. Just make sure you take pictures and/or video.
