So rental advocates are calling for maximum temperatures as well as minimums.
So by this logic if there’s a maximum permissible temperature, if I have AC installed in the rental unit it must run at whatever level is necessary 24/7 to not exceed that maximum temperature at any time, even if it adds hundreds of dollars a month to the renter’s utility bill?
Nobody would want to put someone’s health at risk by letting it get too hot.
Is that really what tenants want? Because I sure wouldn’t have wanted that kind of bill when I was renting, I would’ve just preferred a cheap fan I could turn on or maybe a home brew swamp cooler.
Or are they just clumsily wanting landlords to supply ACs with rental units now, which will drive prices even higher even before electrical upgrades….
Not sure if they want plentiful housing, affordable housing, or nicely outfitted suites.
Renters may pick 1 of the above options only.
bylaws say heating systems need to be capable of maintaining every room at a temperature
“need to be cable of”
I wouldn’t feel comfortable with risking their welfare that way. If there’s a maximum temperature in the rules I wouldn’t want to get sued by ever exceeding it.
Then you’re an idiot.
