Well in our shower in the corner the white line that i guess connects the tiles became black and no matter what i do i can't get it off. I mean what is it, i never had that before. Should i tell my owner?Also in some other spots i see black on the tiles, but that comes off.

Yep definetly sounds like mold. You can go to your local grocery store and they have tons of cleaners that say they remove mold. But I am a fan of plain old bleach. Just make sure to keep the doors open because the smell is very strong.

Definitely mold. I use the Clorox spray in the shower and leave it for an hour, then come back and just rinse it off. It'll be white again

oy i hate using Clorox. Do you have the name of the product so i can go get it? Also does it take off yellow stains (from my dogs)?

My bath in my parents' house had the same issue.  And mom my bought all the products on the market to try to get it off.  And really the only thing that worked was good ol' Clorox.  It sucks having to use it, but it works.  It usually lasted for about 3-4 wks before it returned, so do be surprised if yours does too.

The best thing to do is to strip the old grout out and then re-grout it. It is not hard at all. You tube re-grouting a bathtub and several videos will show you how to do it. This is the only way to really get rid of the mold for good.

I regrouted, installed a filter for the shower head, and put damprid in the bathroom.  good luck!

I have this shower cleaner spray that is awesome. You spray it after every shower. It is supposed to protect the shower from mold and yucky stuff. So far, it has worked wonders. I got it at Target and it's their Up & Up brand (which I use for everything).
