In NJ
I NEED my air conditioner fixed due to a new born baby and the fact that my apartment is 90 degrees. I thought maintenance had replaced my heater earlier this winter and im just now finding out that they intended to replace both heat and air but only did the heater, now it 90 outside i have no air and a new born any day now (wife is in her final days of pregnancy) this hot temperature poses a serious health threat to an infant (SIDS). I called the maintenance department and found out that they have no parts for the AC and that it would be days before they can get them. They offered a temporary window AC unit in the mean time and therein lies my issues: AC units tend to hike up your electric bill, if i take their temporary unit, because my babys well being depends on it, can i ask them (or sue them) to pay for the charges to my electric bill that this unit will bring?
