I bet I know exactly who the landlord is. Initials PG?

To legally use this article, specific conditions must be met:
Landlord Obligation: The repair must be something the landlord is legally required to fix.
Notice & Demand: The tenant must formally request the repair and give the landlord a reasonable amount of time to act.
Necessity & Cost: The repairs must be truly necessary for habitability, and the amount spent must be reasonable.Deduction
Not sure what the laws are statewide, but in orleans parish residential units must be able to be cooled to at least 80 degrees in all bedrooms.
She'll be hitting that threshold pretty easily.

refusing a/c when it was originally a part of the property is a severe issue imo in LA. I'd give 30 day notice, subtract the window units cost from last months rent.

Place rent in escrow. AFTER reading the lease.

Sounds like she has three options:
- move out
- get some window units
- get fans and deal with it
If the rent is cheaper than a new place, I'd probably get a couple of window units and then either sell them to the landlord when I left or take them with me.

It's a friend of the family kind of deal.
Sound like you think more of him than he thinks of your daughter.

The landlord wouldn’t happen to be Gene Buckel (SHOESTRING REALTY) would it???

If he's around Natalbany/Hammond/Independence, you can count on it.

If that is the case then have her move out.
Not good to not have a lease but in this case nothing is binding. Find a new place for 5 months. He will have to get it replaced before a new tenant moves in.

First of all. This might be one of the more difficult types of people to deal with. I am not one to get into the whole "boomer", blaming shite on the generation a person is from thing, however; for the... just over a years and a half, I have had to be around someone in their early 80s (and in good shape for their age) and it has made me stereotype people more when they are beyond a certain age.
They are truly stuck in their ways, do not like change whatsoever and some of them have a certain entitled attitude. This particular person once told me "You work all your life and yeah you have a retirement, but as much as we contributed to the government you would think they would honor us by doing certain things like not having to pay taxes when shopping, etc".
That comment actually caught me off guard. One of those comments where you think "wait.. did he just say..?" but then after that I started to notice subtle things that I could see stemming from that mind set.
I will just say that to actually get something do it would likely have to involve taking the legal route which if she has window units and is leaving in January, its not worth it at all. If they have an idea of how something works, they don't give a shite about what the law or a contract or whatever might say.

Just wanted to add to this that window units get a lot of shite from people but honestly, they are the bomb. A bedroom cooled by a window unit at night in the summer is difficult to beat.

It’s damn near 100. Landlord has leverage.
Seriously though… check your lease. Scope of covered repairs usually called out. Start with your lease.

Google says that person died in 2011 so I'm guessing it isn't him.
