1. Being a Landlord Is Not a 9 to 5 Job. The daily life of a landlord is much more impromptu than structured. It is not the type of life where you get to work at 9:00 a.m, go to lunch at noon and leave at 5:00 p.m. One day you may have one hour of work to do while the next you may have fifteen hours of work.
It's pretty obvious that landlords are required to provide the basics: locking doors, hot water, and heating. But one of the questions that gets asked the most in landlord-tenant law is whether a landlord is required to provide tenants with air conditioning. The answer? Probably not. Every state, and most municipalities, have requirements that a landlord must meet while someone occupies a rental unit. These are generally known as a landlord's warranty of habitability, and are meant to ensure that tenants have access to basic necessities. While heating is always required of a landlord, air conditioning is generally not.
