Some state laws actually allow the landlord to require the tenant be responsible for the unit and thus pay repairs. But if you told the renters that the house has AC, then it's your responsibility to maintain it. I guess it depends on the tenants (and the lease). If they're patient, they can wait until Tuesday. If, say, they have toddlers sensitive to lack of heat, they won't. If you have a month-to-month and the tenants turn out to be "high maintenance", you can always bump up the rent to cover these costs. Conversely, you should have some sort of record or budget of how much you should spend for repairs et al., to see if the tenants are causing you to spend more money than you anticipated.
