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.

Personally I don’t see how this is even a privileged question but consumer protection. If I rent an apartment with an air conditioner, yes I expect it to work.

EU generally has better consumer protection than US: would they not apply here?
