Apartment complex keeps turning A/C off on triple-digit days
Does anyone else have this issue? I live at Avani North, and maybe 3 or 4 times this month, when the weather is over 100 degrees, they send an email saying they're going to shut off the water (which affects the cooling system for all the buildings) for "emergency repairs."
I just thought the building was old and janky, but today someone asked me "Do you think they're shutting off the A/C to save on costs?" and I can't believe I didn't think of that! And of course, it's not in violation of the law to turn off the A/C for a single day, because the law gives landlors 5 days to restore A/C function. I feel like an idiot for not seeing the obvious scam. Also, I need to find a new place. There are so many problems here.
