Obviously the landlord here needs to repair the a/c unit -- he never asked whether or not he needed to. He asked what is the TIME FRAME in which he is obligated to repair the unit. If you don't know the answer to his question, you shouldn't bother responding. Sounds like this landlord did everything he possibly could -- including repairing the a/c immediately -- on a unit he is bleeding money on. He has very specific questions and I assume that the answer "you need to fix the a/c unit!" isn't terribly useful, since he has already fixed it and never asked the question whether or not he needed to. If the tenant here owned this unit, rather than rented, and the a/c went out, the tenant would have had to spend a few days in the heat without a/c. The landlord wants to know if he's required to monetarily compensate the tenant here if the tenant spent no more time in the heat while waiting to get the a/c repaired than any owner would have. Seems like a straightforward question. I don't have the answer, but would like to know, since I have a similar situation in Fl with a plumbing problem.
