First, here are important issues to consider when helping me to write the letter: - The air conditioning went out on July * and has still not been fixed - As a temporary remedy, they installed a portable air conditioning unit in the bedroom. - The portable air conditioning unit uses a lot of energy as it is always running, and it doesn’t cool down the rest of the apartment. It also sometimes comes lose while we are away and fails to cool the apartment efficiently. Temperatures in the apartment regularly sit at above * degrees. When we cook, temperatures will rise * degrees higher. - They have offered to install a second portable air conditioning unit but we will not consider it because of the power bill. - We have been in constant communication with the apartment complex on the progress of getting the new air conditioning units but there seems to be little urgency given the timeline.
