>Tenants often lack protections like maximum temperature regulations, and can even be barred from installing air conditioners themselves. As the world warms, that’s increasingly dangerous.
Yeah it’s so hot in my upstairs apartment converted from an old house… The AC cant even keep up with the main area and the window unit that came with the place has broken side flaps. I have to bring it up with the landlady. We have 4 fans and 2 air purifiers going as well and it’s barely tolerable. The only comfortable place is the room we sleep in with the door closed with that extra window unit we were given from parents when they moved… And that one occasionally makes a scratching noise that wakes you up anyway when trying to sleep.
