Okay, great. So no need to HANG the BC as long as it isn't being kept in a wet environment? Like I said I'm in a tiny studio apartment so I only have 1 closet with all my dress shirts hanging in it.

It is a rubbermaid tub. Currently, that's being kept in the moist bathroom as well, but I figure it won't get much moisture inside of it.

Ideal is hanging in a closet but that's not an option so I recommend ensuring it is completely dry, inflating slightly, lay flat in shallow bin and store under the bed. Loosely cover if long stretches between dives to protect from dust. Would this work?
 
....Also, my apartment can get to 90-95 degrees during the day (it's basically a greenhouse). Is this too hot? I'm also considering buying a portable AC unit.

Scuba gear is pretty durable.... I'd be more concerned with damp or dirty than I would be with 90-95 degrees as long as it is clean, dry and kept away from UV rays (dark closet would be best).

Ideally you want to avoid extreme temps, but what you describe is not "extreme".

Best wishes.
