Cleaning awkward mould

I've moved into a rented house, 60s, with one particularly cold corner and the wall leading up to it. On opening the lower cupboards, there is a lot of mould on the back walls, visible because all the cupboard backs stop a few inches before the underneath of the worktops.

I can clean the bits I can see and reach, but other than dismantling the cupboards, which is not possible, I can't see how to clean it all away - I used my phone to check by holding it over the gap, and it extends down the backs. The cupboards all smell too, from the mould behind. So far I haven't used them, and am keeping my crockery etc in my own cupboard in the living room, so the doors stay closed and at least it is 'trapped' in place and we are not exposed to it. It is annoying to have a kitchen I can't use the cupboards of though.

Assuming the landlord knows, I can't believe he didn't open the cupboards after the previous tenant left. He kept going on about keeping windows open. No extractor.

Any ideas about what I can do to clean in the unreachable space? This pic is by far the worst one BTW, the rest are not as bad.
