Tenant Ac Repair Rights

Summary

Tenants can request an external AC company to inspect their unit if the landlords repair efforts are insufficient. Politely inform the manager and offer to cover the cost if the AC is found to be functioning. Check local tenant laws, as some states mandate landlords to provide functional AC and may hold them responsible for repair costs.

I'm having problems with my air conditioning in my apartment. The manager sent over a man, that won't fix issue. He says it's fine. I want an outside Ac company to come in. They charge $*.*. what do I say to manager, to keep things civil.
Hello **** ****,
You can politely request your manager to allow an external AC company to examine the issue. Let them know that you're willing to bear the cost if the AC is indeed fine. Also, depending on your location, tenants may have specific rights regarding habitability, which includes functioning AC.
Ok will do.
It seems like you're doing well, ****. Just a reminder, check local tenant laws as well. Some states require landlords to provide functioning AC and could be held responsible for repair costs.
