Default Another mold question

We just bought our house a year ago and the previous owners put up a
wallpaper trim on the top of the bathroom walls, including over the
shower area. The bathroom for some reason doesn't have an exhaust fan
so we got a dehumidifier, but the wallpaper trim is starting to show
dark spots, which I suspect are mold.
Would it be worthwhile to try and bleach the wallpaper as a temporary
solution? The bathroom is probably going to be remodelled in a few
months. Or should we rip down the trim as soon as possible?

If it was me I would go ahead an remove the wallpaper there are
several methods. If the trim is in the way then remove it as well.
When the remodel occurs be sure to have an exhaust fan installed and
make sure it is vented directly outside an not into the attic.
