    Every apartment I've ever been to, I've paid for electric. Why in the fuck would landlords even care?

      Operating ACs during heatwaves makes them wear and tear faster as they're operating at higher output to counter the heat. Landlord doesn't want to be on the hook to fix for what I assume are ACs the landlord set up for the tenants.
      Either that or there's an electrical vulnerability somewhere that would become apparent with the ACs running being a big ol liability.
      Of course they might want to just evict them all to get higher paying tenants. There's many evils to landlordism.

        Yeah, it's a giant loophole in the rent control laws where the building is. Another giant loophole being that you can evict for something like this.

    the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

    I’ve been thinking that becoming an air conditioner repair person would be a really good career choice for our climate apocalypse. Everybody would want me to join their tribe.
