Do y'all have residential tenancy branches and things like that where you can complain. We do and they pretty much always favor the tenant. Particularly on necessities such as appliances, heat, a/c, plumbing etc.

I don't know about that. I never had any problems getting things taken care of when I was renting. I just assume the landlord has the upper hand in disputes.

Down here they're usually called Tenant's Council, or some such thing.

I hate the numbnut LL's that give us all a bad rep. These idiots don't realize that if they would spend the money up front, and as needed, that they would not have folks moving out every six months, or every year, or whatever the term of the lease because of crap like Valerie's having to endure.

I try to create an enviornment where the tenant thinks of their unit as THEIR home - and they do not want to move anywhere else. It's a win-win deal. They get nice places to live where the lawn is maintained, the HVAC filter is changed, the pests are whacked, and I get maximum rents each and every month - few vacancies, except by death or other special circumstances, and fewer headaches for me.

At this stage of the game, fewer headaches is a good thing.

Not even Austin has sunk low enough to have that kind of Bleeding heart Commie agency. Her only optoin in Texas is to take the landlord to Small Claims Court and hope the Justice of the Peace likes her.

Val, do a demand letter about the AC fix and rent reduction and send it over by messenger. That means drive one of the kids over to deliver it and have him get a signed receipt.
