You should correct this problem before a fire happens. I'm not an electrician, so this isn't advice, but I would think that the breaker could be reduced to match the allowed current on the wiring.
The breaker is a 30 amp breaker (appropriate for wires going to the outlet), but the draw on it was just at that edge of tripping. If I owned the house I would replace it with a new 30 amp breaker that (hopefully) would trip when even slightly overloaded... but I am not doing that in a rental.
