Can you live in LA without an Operable Air Conditioning System?
While it is theoretically possible to live in LA without air conditioning (for the time being, there are no laws in place, though many in Los Angeles are pushing for new laws to be passed soon), both renters and property owners alike will continuously find it in their best interest to have an air conditioner in the home.
Cooling appliances such as AC and proper ventilation systems are just about the only way to combat the extreme heat in Los Angeles in the wake of climate change, so renting out a home in LA without an AC system is growing increasingly more difficult.
While California law does not state anything in-specific about LA
rental units having to have cooling appliances or AC, it does state that
if there are operable cooling appliances in the rental unit upon a
tenant’s arrival and signing of the rental agreement, then it is the
landlord’s responsibility to maintain said cooling appliances. Thus, if
your air conditioning system breaks down after you move into a rental
unit, it is the property owners’ responsibility to fix said cooling
appliances and get the system operable again within a reasonable amount
of time. For more information visit our official portal.
