How can window condensation in a leased condo be dried, if I'll be away for 3 weeks, without towels?
I will be leaving my leased condominium in Toronto, Canada for three weeks on 1 Feb. 2019. In cold weather, my window and balcony door sills have pools of water on the floor that sometimes pour into my hardwood floor, much more wringing than the pictures beneath. When I'm here, I sop them up myself. I don't have anyone who can come into my unit daily to soak up.
Towels don't feel that efficacious to me. Won't they stay water-logged?

There will likely be much less condensation than usual when you're away. A major source of the moisture is your own breath (as well as any pets and plants).

I agree with tootea our breath is a huge amount of the moisture, next showering and cooking, you won't be doing any of that. Turning the heat down will also help you just need to keep things warm, open up cabinets with plumbing and turn the heat down to 50f maybe lower enough to prevent any pipes from freezing but the lowest temp should also help.

- Turn on a fan to circulate the air which will remove some of the excess moisture by evaporation.
- Change the HVAC filter. A dirty filter will impede air flow.
- Turn on the HVAC. This not only cools/heats the room, but also removes humidity.
- Get yourself a dehumidifier.
