My house that I rent is very hot and my landlord says there is nothing wrong with the air. I set it at 70 and it goes to 85 or higher. He says that is normal because it is so hot outside and will not have it fixed.

The landlord only has to fix it at his expense if your lease specifies that air conditioning is provided as part of the rental agreement. Surprisingly, air conditioning is legally considered a luxury and is not a basic utility required by law such as hot/cold water, gas, electricity, and heat.

You need to call him back something is wrong with the a/c or the thermastat. You also need to make sure to change the filter every 2 weeks, most filters say they are good for a lot longer but they really aren't it's better to just get cheaper filters and change them more often. Your a/c could cost you more money on your electric bill, so if your renting the landlord should fix it legally.

I've seen times before here in Texas when the AC simply could not keep up with the heat outside. However, this is a very rare occurance.
As to who is legally responsible, your lease should contain some information on who is responsible for what repairs.
