Condensation in cold climate

ok, so i have a house rented out and have tenants living in there at the moment.

the tenants have complained that there is bad condensation in the house during winter, especially at night. and they use gas heating. winter nights get to about -10 degrees celcius, so its pretty damn cold. its an older house that is made of concrete blocks, with cement render on the outside, and plasterboard stuck directly on the inside of the concrete block. i dont think that water is pentrating from the outside, im pretty sure its from the inside.

anyone have any ideas on what causes and solutions there may be? especially those of you living in colder climates.

not sure if this belongs in this thread or in tilted knowledge, but i thought id post here for greater exposure.
