If the landlord isn't willing to fix the issue, move. It's that simple.

this is the only correct answer.

1 - the unit must meet size requirement for the space being cooled and heated

2 - the duct work as well as the return air to the system must be designed for the space being cooled and heated

3 - no matter how many fans you try to add you will always have warm and cold spots no matter what you do.


now with all that said, here are some options

option 1 is you get the a/c guy to do a proper evaluation and sizing of the needs for this home. then go to landlord and make a deal with him that in exchange for the equivalent amount of you paying rent you will pay to have the system fixed properly.

im sure landlord should be willing to agree to that since it cost him nothing "out of pocket", and he just loses a few months rent income. in exchange he has a much better rental home that he can charge more for when you are gone.

option 2 is to work out a deal to pay more in rent in exchange for him calling the a/c guy to do a proper evaluation and sizing of the needs for this home.

myself i would prefer the first option since you know you arent trying to do a half assed job as cheap as possible
