sorry, i used a lot of words but missed the important stuff apparently. sorry about that! my place is supposed to come with central air conditioning. a big, outdoor HVAC system. the landlord says they're waiting for their contractor to install it. in the meantime, they've lent us a window air unit. the only room that can take a window unit is the master bedroom. All of the other windows open with a crank left to right instead of up and down. so, only one bedroom can be cooled off. it sucks because it has been getting into the mid 80s in my apartment which is warm, but bareable. we've got a 100+ degree weekend coming and me, my wife, and two german shepherds are gonna hafta all spend the weekend in the bedroom. which sucks because we chose this place because it allowed dogs and has central air. which, whatever, we'll be fine. just sucks to not have a thing the landlord said we'd have and are paying for my downstairs neighbors are a very old woman and her 65ish year old daughter, who takes care of her. the old woman has the ac, and the daughter, who has pneumonia, will either have to sleep with her mom or sweat it out

Buy another window unit and a dehumidifier you're never gonna get central air there and you shouldn't have believed their lies

I'm paying $1717 per month for a place where I can't sleep between 5:30am and 10:30pm. Going insane since I was already an insomniac. But can't complain/break lease because it is my first rental in this country and need a good reference. Why the gently caress don't landlords need references? I maybe could have avoided destroying a year of my life in this lemon of a building if they did (rhetorical question, I know why they don't)

You know I figure you mean there's like construction or bad heating or something, but when you say that I imagine some insane landlord demand that you remain awake between specific hours with an airhorn to punish violators.

Nah it's a commerical gym that's like 100 feet away on the floor below me. Didn't think the sound of barbells dropping would travel so far. The whole floor is hosed, I was wondering why I never saw/heard any neighbours.

The positive plant reviews are so blatantly obvious.

If you have a criminal record, you shouldn't be allowed to lease property, especially if they were white-collar crimes.
