There are kits like this sold online, the one linked, specifically type 4 with a drawer, work as follows.

Put about 1-2 cm of water in, optional an icepack.
Run your dryer.
At the end of the cycle, dump the collected condensed water, optionally swapping the ice pack.

Do these work well enough to dehumidify dryer output in a rental environment?

Edit 1: For those recommending me to buy a ventless / condenser / heat pump dryer.

Feel free to send me $50-100 each, as I cannot afford one.

Do note, I do have a vent near where my dryer is, it is just very loud. Thus why I was thinking of supplementing it with this.

Do you need to use a dryer or could you hang clothes up to dry instead? Would be free and doesn't damage your clothes as much.

The landlord stripped down the air dry lines, and did not give us a window / skylight for the shared room.

Sadness indeed.

You could just tie a line between something, or airers are not that expensive if you don't want to make something yourself for it.
