Suspect my bathroom concealed pipe leaking, wall paint flaking and got mold. Anyone got plumber contact to intro? Thanks!!

Hi, I got water damage patch near my bathroom wall. Not big leak but clearly water damage, paint is flaking and got mold. Suspect it is concealed pipe leak, need plumber to fix, but cannot get any good contacts. Please post or PM me if you have contacts, very urgent. THanks!

Recently, my water heater has been releasing water intermittently. I say releasing and not leaking, because its clearly discharging water about half an hour after I turn on the heater and if nobody uses the hot water, and the water flow stops as soon as the hot water is used. The water clearly is coming from this valve thing attached to the cold water inlet (see picture http://img12.imageshack.us/i/imagefwx.jpg/) that kind of just discharges.. Into my ceiling space. Is it normal for this valve to discharge? From what I read on the Internet, maybe it's for water expansion in closed water systems, which sounds ok, except that its never happened in the past year I've been living here. If the discharge is not normal, it is a problem with the heater or the valve? I suppose there's no easy way to check on the Internet for this one, but if anyone has a simple test I could run, I could do it. If the heater and the valve are fine, is the valve supposed to just discharge into my ceiling? You might have noticed that there's a pipe that kind of ends nowhere in the picture. Was that supposed to be drainage pipe the the previous plumber just bochup? Wouldn't surprise me at this point. The false ceiling directly under the valve has a suspiciously thick layer of silicone on the top - I don't know if that was intended to do anything. Thoughts, tips welcome! Also, recommendations for a plumber, but I don't want to get chop carrot head, so ask here first if it's a big job or small job.. =p

Hi, can I also get a PM for his contact? Thanks!

It's not that I want to kick him out, but if I could convince him to move that would be best. I could wait until the lease expires - it's only a 1 year lease - but I would prefer if I could move in earlier, that's all. Otherwise, just sit and wait lor, what to do I'm thinking of offering 2 mths free stay, but I don't know what else to give.. I'd rather not give cash if possible

I just bought a new property with tenancy, but I actually would prefer to move in before the lease is up. The lease doesn't have a break clause, though. Is there anything I can do? I can't just give notice and throw the person out right?
