have a (compression, no flue) tumble dryer that steams everything up (although does save on central heating) so your probably right as the landlady seems to of botched just about everything, i have varnish from doing some cabinets, would that be suitable? dont want to be planing the door as i'm (as previously mentioned) an egit and its not my house. May invoke cx5's friendship clause as he's good with wood...oh dear

It could be your dryer, but it's usually the wind. It blows rain onto the face, which goes down and into the crack at the bottom. In this weather it never dries out so your wood swells and it sticks at the bottom. You will need the right tool for the job, an electric one would be best. But if cx5 knows how to deal with wood I'm sure he'll have one. (fnarr fnarr)
Or without the double entendres....
It's probably rain blowing onto the outside of the door, then running into the gap at the bottom. There it soaks into the wood making it swell up and stick. Use a power planer to remove a couple of mm from the bottom of the door, then two coats of gloss paint to stop it soaking up water in future.
