Be sure and check out the links on the sidebar. Sealing everything is a good idea but since you don't own your place you could get in trouble for caulking without permission.
If you have any windows at all, a good method to get rid of smells is to open a window, then open another window across from it (or as far away as you can) and set up a fan in one of them pointing OUTSIDE. It'll set up a crossdraw that pulls clean air through your apartment.
Regarding mold growing on yout stuff, can you get someone to keep the majority of your things somewhere else until you get this problem solved? At least that way your things won't be ruined while you wait to get this fixed. Leather can be ruined forever so I'd at least move any nice shoes or coats to somebody else's house.
