Solving humidity issues after installation of ductless mini-split AC

I had never had issues with air conditioning. My brothers had given me the responsibility of reminding them to call the cooling corporation and book their annual air conditioner tune-up. I also linked them up with a digital thermostat when they complained that their HVAC installation was consuming power, especially when they were not at home. However, my troubles started when I moved into an apartment that had installed a ductless mini-split system to help with indoor comfort. I had yet to use it before and doubted its capacity to keep my home comfortable. I got an a/c worker from the local indoor comfort business to help me understand it, but that did not resolve all the troubles I would encounter. My home was always humid, and every search I made about the issue led me to more people complaining about the problem. After having the air conditioner serviced several times to see if the problem could be resolved, the cooling specialist mentioned trying to find an additional dehumidifier because the unit seemed to have reached its maximum dehumidification capacity. I ended up buying it, but I wished the house had an electric heat pump like the other houses I’d lived in. I needed to understand how I had what would be considered quality HVAC but still had such issues with humidity. Unfortunately, the house wasn’t mine, so I couldn’t do whatever I wished with it, but whatever the a/c professional suggested worked well and was not too expensive. I still wonder why the landlady thought that mini-split systems were better than having a central HVAC for the five house units in the apartment block.
