cold showers, ice drinks and open windows only after dark seems to work so far, though I would (will) get AC if it didn't violate my lease (when I get around to it, apparently its no longer a lease violation)
nope, they don't (didn't) let us do that and apparently its legal in this state. i have some neighbors that have windows units though, so maybe i need to reread my lease in case something changed (it did). they did explicitly say no window units when I moved in though
there is the issue of liability in case the ac falls on someone's head due to improper installation and also the issue of potential damage to the window. i mean its mostly bullshit tbh and they could just take some responsibility and have one of the maintenance staff install it instead of asking us to do it but obviously they wont do that. and no, they don't cover the electricity bill, that would be sweet though
also PS, this conversation made me reread the lease renewal and apparently they removed the language about not being able to put in an AC so that's progress and I guess I can get an AC unit. we did have some people die in the neighborhood from the heat, so i guess they weighted the liability costs associated with that too..
it was mostly disabled elderly people living in public housing. they were not able to move around easily and get to a cooler area. i could say more but i don't want to doxx myself too much

Damn that I got dark at the end. :doomer:

Don't think that narrows it down by much.
