TITLE: what temperature would an apartment have to reach inside before you could say it was unfit for human occupation?
POST: pretty sure it reached close to 90 yesterday and had me walking around in boxers and a washcloth on my head. 

the issue is, after going through a rigorous background check for this spot, and under time constraints, i was only made aware of the 'no window ac units' as i was being given the pen to sign. i thought about walking for split second, but the place was too good for me to pass up under the circumstances.

i was told something along the lines of the building being old, and the wiring not being able to handle all 10 tenants running ac at once. not sure if i buy that completely when the landlord is responsible for paying the electricity bills.

open windows and fans arnt cutting it for me during some of the days i am at home (in CA, so nights are pretty cool). and sitting looking at my perfectly awesome portable ac unit (arguably not a 'window' unit although it does of course vent through one) hurts. I had plugged it in the other day to test the dimming effect it might have on the lights inside and there was none, its just loud and obvious i am using it. 

i cant find anywhere is says that excessive temperature specifically violates landlord/tenant law. there is just the generalised 'must be fit for living'. what do you think?
TL;DR: 
landlord wont let me use ac, but its hot as shit. how hot does it have to get before i have legite grounds to plug in?
