Whereas it may not be your responsibility to provide a dehumidifier, you definitely should consider it. TOO much humidity in a house or apartment, as others have said, can create mold problems, that the T will complain about, and you will have to deal with. It can also create sticking/swelling doors and windows, which then becomes a safety problem, if a fire happens, and people can't get out of certain windows or doors because of the sticking/swelling.

What you might consider, if the problem is on the main floor of your unit, is buying your Ts a large window air conditioner for the living room. That way, it takes the humidity out, and keeps the Ts cool at the same time. They will love you for it. Then, at lease renewal time, raise the rent by $20/mo, to pay for the air cond.
