Unless it's in the lease, nothing in Tennessee's Landlord-Tenant Act gives renters the right to air conditioning.

Despite how hot it is, landlords in Tennessee are not required to keep the air conditioning running.

In our changing climate, that probably comes as a surprise.

However, unless it’s in the lease, nothing in Tennessee’s Landlord-Tenant Act gives renters the right to air conditioning.

“I think it’s unfair. It’s inhumane to me because without air we can’t live and breathe,” said Anita Brown.

    People with breathing problems have problems breathing, how could I disagree?

    Breathing air that is so wet it even condenses inside my nose (dew point above 37 °C) feels good. I have not heard people complain about too humid air (for breathing, not buildings etc.) so far. Only the other way around: Breathing air that has a dew point below something like -10 °C can be a really unpleasant if the air itself is warm.
