A/C doesnt work – Landlord doesnt respond

Your landlord is right in the fact that A/C is not required, thus they don’t have to immediately fix it. 60 hours is probably not considered unreasonable… If it had been over a week you would have more cause for action. If your landlord fails to fix the AC within a reasonable timeframe you can have it repaired yourself and charge it against your rent.

—– Sample of how to write a letter to your landlord—-
If you do that you will need to send your manager a certified letter stating that you have provided a reasonable timeframe to fix your AC and they have not. If the AC is not fixed within 3 days of this letter, tenant will hire a professional to fix the Air Conditioner and deduct the cost from next moths rent. Please see that the AC unit is fixed within 3 business days of this letter.

Furthermore it should be noted that allow the State does not mandate Air Conditioners, it was part of my rental contract; thus not fixing the AC within a reasonable timeframe will be considered breach of contract and liable for further legal action.

I hope that helps. Also, you always have the right to file a formal landlord tenant complaint with the RPA.

Thank you so much. It really helped.

But looking at the horrible reviews they have got, i am sure they wouldnt care any of this.
