hi, we just got an ac installed in our new apt (drilled and mounted into the window). we just noticed our lease has the following clause about ACs:
air conditioners
tenant understands that he may not install any ac in the apt WITHOUT first receiving landlord's consent. moreover, landlord may charge additional rent for said permission. moreover, tenant may not remove said ac and then ask or seek rent reduction. TENANT MUST REMOVE ALL AIR CONDITIONERS DURING EACH HEATING SEASON, ie October 1- may 31. violation of this provision will cause a waste of heat and energy, and is therefore, a substantial breach of matrial and significant obligation of this lease.
is this a terrible thing to have done? should we call the mgmt company and let them know?
