I won’t drop what apartment complex we live at but I will say it’s not owned by DTN. Our AC unit broke April 1st. They had a company come in to fix it. Still wasn’t fixed so maintenance came in a couple times after that. Didn’t say anything about it, didn’t send us an email or anything. Still not working. We talked to the front office and apparently they need to replace the whole unit. No updates or anything for a month and they didn’t give us a portable unit. We live on the third floor and it has been freakishly cold and very hot on the warm days.
Went in a week and a half ago to ask about it. They go “Yeah the whole unit needs to be replaced, we are getting quotes for a new one. There’s a list of units that need replacements but you are towards the top.” I asked for a portable unit and they said they would make a note. Still no portable unit. Still no update on a new unit.
My roommate went in today and they said that maintenance ignored their text about getting us a portable unit. It’s going to start getting warm out soon.
I’m getting really agitated. I’m genuinely really chill about living conditions and we don’t make a fuss about much. AC is something I don’t play about though, especially paying $1,600 a month for rent.
Has anyone else has an experience with this? I don’t know if there is anything I can do about it. I don’t think AC is a necessity item for renting but maybe I should look through the lease. Don’t know if I might be able to push for getting money off our rent?
