Georgia
Let me start by saying this is day 61 in a row of heat index high above 95 for this city.
Our air conditioning unit does not work properly. It will run all day long but even if we set it as high as 78, it freezes up about 1:00 PM every day and for the remainder of the day, it will be 85+ while the AC runs nonstop. I have opened several maintenance requests but the head maintenance gentleman actually said this:
"if it is 90 degrees outside and you have the AC set to 78, you can't expect it to get any cooler than 84 because that is the average of the two."
I raised the issue with the property manager, who said the maintenance guy checked it out and nothing is wrong with your unit.
Our lease is up in October so at worst we will get by with $350 electric bills for a few more months but I really wish I knew if any action on my part was legitimate so I could at least try to pressure them into fixing it.
