Eurgh mould

I've recently moved into a flat (in july), checked for signs of damp and seemed to be none, apart from spare room smelling a bit musty but we put that down to it not being used and opened the windows (which didn't make any difference). Anyway in the last week mould has come into the spare room, it is on the blankets and sheets which are on the futon from someone staying and when I took the sheet off it was very damp. Also in the bedroom today i discovered a bag hanging on the bedpost has mould all over it! Nothing else seems to have mould, although i looked on the chimney breast wall (which is where the bed is) and it seems to have white marks which I have a feeling are the beginnings of mould.
HELP!!
Is this my problem or the landlords? There was no mould when we came, is it our fault for not opening the windows enough?
Also what can I do to stop the mould coming?

Good look getting anything out of him though, he'll probably try and blame you. Ours did.
White vinegar is good for getting rid of mould.
let her know, it sounds like a structural issue.
just let your landlord know and they should sort it out. its most likely to be a recurring problem that they know about anyway.
i've always found my landlords to be very hellpful
