Thank you Jim. My son and daughter-in-law had their a/c go out Sunday. They immediately reported it to the landlord, who in turn called in someone to fix it. He came by, replaced a part then left. AC stopped working within an hour. Called the landlord again, guy came the next day, said it needs a new inside unit. Landlord said she has one in her backyard that she will have installed. It was supposed to be delivered and installed yesterday (Wednesday). Showed up today about 2, someone was to be there in 45 minutes, never showed. The 'repairman' is not answering their calls or texts and neither is the landlord (after telling them that her son is also without ac and it's not that bad.)
Here's the kicker:
1- she never fixed the screens so they can't open most of the windows without the house filling with flies and mosquitoes
2 - both my son and daughter-in-law work and someone has to wait around ALL DAY for the repair guy to show up, then he doesn't.

So while they wait around in the sweltering heat for 5 days now, losing income, the landlord is ignoring their calls. There ought to be a law.
