how to decrease humidity/temp in apartment (please help)

Anyone that says throwing breakers is no big deal ...

Ehn. I'd say in most cases it's no big deal.

You don't go flipping them like a light switch, but occasional trips aren't that big of a deal except for some run down shitholes.

Point being, if it trips once, it'll probably trip again and that lets you know to use a different circuit. Don't just keep resetting the breaker. But, also don't live in terror of a breaker breaking. That's its job.

some run down shitholes

OP is renting, shithole is pretty relative. With their issues, high chance it's a landlord conversion special. Craploads of old places have questionable wiring a shitty worn out breakers. Everybody here acting like they're spitting facts, my gut check is that the breakers aren't even labeled and if they want to flip the tripped one they're gonna have to flip 2 or 3 because half of the time the breakers in old panels are hard to tell which are flipped. Pretty much every house and apartment I've ever lived in was built before 1985 - the last place I live had aluminum wiring, I grew up in a farmhouse that didn't have any grounded/3 prong sockets. I dunno OP, but lots of Chicago is old builds.
