I would think if it is built in AC then the landlord is responsible for maintaining it -- but with window units it would depend on your lease terms and also on who bought and installed the unit.

Great info. Does anyone know what the requirements are for landlords to maintain cooling/heating units if they are built into the rental space? Are they required to fix? Thanks...
