True story?
I don't know about other places, but in the U.S., generally if your house is fucked to the extent of being kindof uninhabitable (and I'd think no AC would qualify -- though maybe depending on local climate, that might not so much be seen as the case?), your landlord would have to get it fixed or pay for a hotel stay until it was fixed.
Or maybe in your case, it's more of a condo situation where you don't have a landlord.
Or maybe I'm off base thinking a lack of AC in July would qualify as sufficiently uninhabitable to require your landlord to be responsible for an alternate dwelling.
AC not mandated in Texas
AC not mandated in LA, though that might change
In general, it’s a safe bet to just assume it’s not mandated and if it is or going to be there’s probably a landlord who opposes it.
Window units are not that expensive. Unless landlord is a slumlord, if you say you’re gonna leave if said landlord doesn’t fork up for a window unit, they’ll probably do it. Evicting someone and getting a new tenant is much more of a hassle.
