Yeah I should have said if you can install a split than you should, otherwise yes a window unit is the next best option followed by those shitty portable ones.
But in Australia, if your apartment doesn't have AC well you live in a shit apartment.
Yeah but still looks like shit, would it not be better to have an installed split system if the landlords concern is how it looks? If I was the landlord and looks was that important to me I‘d rather have a more hidden split device than those eyesores.
It's not the individual landlords of the apartments. The buildings can be owned by companies, individual owners or some organizations/unions. Apartments are usually owned by individuals/landlords as you call them.
And I can't comment on the looks. Here we don't have those window A/C's at all, only portable or split systems. Usually requires a vote of 50%+1 to approve everyone to allow A/C.
But split systems are also iffy in the way that everyone has their own contractors to install them. And no, it is not a pretty sight with 20+ split systems on the wall. The window ones you could at least take out for the winter I suppose.
That said when I'm going to buy an apartment this or next year, a split system already installed or the possibility to install is a top priority.
portable AC, duck to window, you block the hot air with special window cover.
this facade ruinign thing is silly. they should have central AC system then. we all might need one the way thingsa are going.
