Under the terms of your Tenancy Agreement you are responsible for taking reasonable and prudent steps to adequately heat and ventilate your property in order to help prevent condensation. Where such condensation does occur, you agreed to take care to promptly wipe down and clean surfaces as required from time to time to stop the build-up of mould growth or damage to the property or its fixtures or fittings or contents (if any).
Condensation is by far the most common cause of dampness experienced by tenants in rental properties. To help you identify and reduce condensation and treat the mould growth often associated with it, the attached booklet on keeping your home free from damp, condensation and mould should be useful: Keep your home free from damp, condensation and mould
One of the most effective solutions to preventing damp and mould is using a dehumidifier. Details of the best dehumidifiers can be found here
If you do have mould in your property, details of the best mould sprays can be found here
Dehumidifiers and mould sprays are discussed in more detail in the attached Best Mould Solutions for Tenants.
Finally, this short video here may help you better understand damp and mould.
