I wouldn't advise doing this in a private rental property however, without having an idea what is causing the condensation that you won't be living in for too long.  I am just arguing against the tenant lifestyle causes that are often quoted as causing condensation.  To my mind, properties that are designed for humans to live in should be able to cope with humans breathing and living in them without damp and condensation.

You make an excellent point, I'm going to prohibit breathing heavily by tenants in my next tenancy agreement.

That’s actually the excuse my previous landlord gave for the severe damp in the property. He said I was ‘breathing all night’ 🙄

Unless your tenancy agreement has a clause prohibiting breathing at night, the LL cannot prevent you from doing so.

........ the day after I picked up the keys I told him I’d invited a painter around to give me a quote, he turned my painter away at the door & told me he had someone “better” who he “trusted”, he called him & arranged for him to come over.......

What on earth was the LL doing at the property anyway? It's not his home, it's yours.

Have you since invited your decorator round (in the LL's absence) and got a quote? How does it compare to the LL''s decorator's quote?
