Challenge
In California, the landlord should repair air conditioners when they break due to normal wear and use, acts of nature or other causes outside the tenant’s control. However, a tenant must cover the cost of repairs to the air conditioner when the intentional or neglectful behavior by the tenant or the tenant’s guests cause damage. The tenant can either pay for repairs directly or reimburse the landlord for repairs made.
While some people may consider air conditioners a necessary item, California law considers them amenities. In other words, air conditioners are not required in rental properties to make them habitable. According to California Civil Code 1941, habitable rental units must have working gas, heat, electric and plumbing systems; sanitary conditions with adequate trash receptacles; working sink, toilet and tub or shower; fire and emergency exits; working smoke detectors and deadbolt locks on all outside doors. Air conditioning is not on the list of features that landlords must provide with an apartment, so tenants cannot force a landlord to put in an air conditioner.
That being said, if the apartment air conditioning goes out, it’s in your best interest to get it fixed. That is what Dykier Air Conditioning does best.
