My a/c unit only works some of the time and my apartments will only come out and fix it temporally. I end up calling them out at least once every week or two. I have been dealing with this same problem for 4 months and I was just wondering if there is anything I can do to get them to permantly fix the problem. It needs a new unit but they don't want to spend the money on a new one. I'm having a difficult pregnancy and have been put on bedrest. I can't sit in an apartment that is 95 degrees all day every day. I don't know what to do, can anyone help?

As long as they are responding to the outages in a timely manner when you report the failure there's probably not much that you can do. You can't force them to replace the unit, nor could you break your lease as long as they are responding to the calls in a timely fashion.

If your lease states that air conditioning is part of your agreement,Give them written notice..send certified mail....If they don't do repairs you will have legal precedence that can be used against them to break your lease and possibly recover damages and expenses.
