Kind of a touchy subject. If there's mold present (and there usually is with prolonged dampness) the landlord could be responsible - depending on local laws. Best short term solution is a dehumidifier and it's in his best interests to provide it for you. Ideally, it would be cheaper for him to treat whatever's causing the problem if possible.....as dampness can cause a plethora of structural problems. Depends on the owner.......some slum lords only want the money and don't care much about the property. Good Luck~

If the landlord is 'difficult' contact the Environmental Health Dept. at your local council. 'A property should be free of damp to be habitable'.
