A/C working properly? Cost -> lower temp?

Apparently you get enjoyment reading this, or replying to it, or maybe you are a masochist. I've tried several newsreaders, and haven't seen one that makes you read particular threads.

That is a very low humidity & if the conditioned space is also low in humidity the latent-heatload will be minimal, allowing the sensible heatload to be removed & transferred outside much faster. Pull down the shades & close the drapes to keep the radiant heat from entering the conditioned space. Vent the bathroom after taking showers, don't cook things that steam up the kitchen, etc., the latent heatload reduces the evaporators Sensible (or Temperature Reducing) capacity! You can do a lot to keep the heatload much lower; do those things & reduce your utility bills! - udarrell

I thought you wanted an AC fixed or at least to be enabled to be comfortable? What is this nonsense all about, winning a dumb argument.

Maybe you can read this.... Welcome to my killfile

Maybe because you don't have to deal with slumlords that don't care about anything but the money going into their pocket. If her landlord cared about the tenent at all, he would have sent a pro to begin with, not some minimum wage flake.

I don't choose to do business with people of no character. So no, you're absolutely correct, I don't have to deal with slumlords. And I never will, because I will never rent from one. Or be one, either.

If you rent, and you need something fixed ,if it is not fixed in a reasonable amount of time, you send a letter to your landlord with the problem ,and that their rent money will be held in rent court until the item is fixed. I have done this many times and all problems were fixed before the rent was due. J.

We don't know yet that he's a slumlord. IIRC he had the AC fixed a month ago and while the guy might not have fixed it right, maybe this is a new problem, and it did last 3 weeks to a month.

IIRC, it's the same guy this time. Maybe the guy knows how to fix some problems and not others, or he was having a bad day, or his wife left him, his kids in jail for drunken driving, and he's having a bad week. Yes I know a pro should still do good work, but one can't count on "should".

Or perhaps the company isn't very good, and the LL hired it precisely because they are cheap. But maybe it's not even so cheap, but the company itself is deteriorating, without the knowledge of the landlord. Perhaps the owner is gambling and losing company money (let's say it's a company he owns lock stock and barrell so it's not even illegal what he's doing) so he's had to hire cheaper people than he should. There are loads of things that the LL won't know about for a while, especially if the employee is able to portray the tenant as unreasonable.

What if your building is sold to a new landlord, like mine was.

I sure hope not. I hope everyone's good plans go well. But what happens if your wife or kid has medical bills beyond your insurance, and the only way to raise the money is by bleeding your rental properties.

What I would do is bleed my rental properties or sell them, but I can imagine that it's a bad seller's market and I think I only need another 20,000 and I can keep the property and catch up later. Then another 20 grand, etc.

I don't think you would plan to become a slumlord, but things happen.

That's not the law everywhere**. In some places, rural places for example are especially likely places, there is no rent court that will hold money until something is fixed. Laws are passed all the time, and repealed once in a while, and I don't do this for a living or know about the entire nation, but I'm sure this is the situation in lots of places.

There may be whole states where that is not the law.

Yeah, whatever, like that happens everyday.

You're still a clueless twit!

And the simple minded people STILL can't comprehend it. LOL

Cause he/she is an idiot. :-)

It's the "details" that you missed that started your stupid ass argument!!!!

I'm not the one questioning the run time of her air conditioning system!

You like oversized systems, bigger is better, Eh?

Prior to that, I did not know that this was not your first summer in this apartment. Faced with that new information, I would say your air conditioner is in fact broken.

I browsed part of your site, and I appreciate your input. I don't know anything about fixing the A/C, and I don't have time to learn it. The site sheds light on all the different things that can be wrong. I think I'll print it out and attach it to my letter to the landlord, as an example of all the things that should be looked at, while that repairman spent literally 2 minutes with what looked like a volt meter before saying "it's working fine."
