Can you take them to small claims court over breach of contract (assuming they promised you A/C at some point)?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That would be a bigger fucking hassle than just bitching the hell out of them. It'll eventually get done, it just requires me to be increasingly unpleasent and proactive. Like I said, btdt.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Let msbelle do it! It'll be fun for all of us.

Actually it wouldn't be that hard. Just fill out this form [link] and send 2 copies to your local district court for filing with $20 for the cost. Check off certified mail for service. They'll send you a copy back for service and you just send it certified mail to the landlord and fill out the affidavit of service when the return receipt comes back in the mail. You'll get a court date in the mail. Then you just show up and tell the court your story. Keep track of what attempts you made to contact them and how long you were without A/C. If nothing else, they'll never ignore you again.
Courts are a powerful tool that many people don't use, and other people over-use.

Hey! kat perez is here! I've missed her.
Fuckety. Just got a call from Emmett's mom. He smacked his nose pretty hard against somebody's head while playing handball at school. No bleeding, but a little black eye. Kid's gotta stop leading with his face, or he's going to walk around with a permanent nose guard screwed into his skull.
Also, boss is out and I have many loose ends to clean up before I leave early at 3:00pm.

No, actually that is more of a hassle than bitching.
I mean, potentially more effective, but more hassle.

This is just costing me a bit of comfort (though thankfully the weather has been mild) and a hell of a lot of disgust and annoyance. It's incompetence+rudeness. Not worth the courts, barring health & safety issues (which it lacks.)

Poor Emmett!
It will be a happy day when that kid grows into his head.
