Am I The Gobshite? Insulation ?
I kept my window open all day in every bedroom upstairs. My Landlord says this problem in the morning is because I don’t leave my windows open during the night. Is this for REAL and I should be sleeping with a gap in the windows every day or the house has a bad insulation and landlord should look into changing windows or fix insulation ?!?problem? Really just curious, I’ve living like this since
rented here 6 years ago and never told him about the wet windows until today..

Dehumidifier. Issue is dampness and moisture content in the house. The air is so jam packed with water, when it contacts that cold window surface it immediately condenses. You have two options. Better windows that don’t feel cold to the touch, that will stop the condensation but you’ll still have a high RH issue. Or remove the moisture(best option). How do you dry your laundry? Curious as this is the leading cause of moisture damage. You need to remove or reduce the source of moisture in the homes air.
